i agree.

however, i thought that it might be way more easy to use.
i don't see a benefit for the manager of the site in using yet another 
product (apart from a personal "hey i have made this work too!!")

personally i think it rather non-user-friendly if the user wants to add 
a new faq item and has to skip through dozens of pages of text to find 
the relevant section in a weird markup language which somebody has set 
for them and which fucks up the entire site if they change it.
furthermore, if they by accident delete a line or another, this will 
eventually have side-effects which they don't want (like disappearing 
TOC by accidentally deleting the line with "[[TableOfContents]]" or "..
contents::")
