I think the experience with Confluence depends entirely on how it's run but I agree. Still not as bad as SharePoint.
I've recently discovered Nuclino (https://www.nuclino.com/) and rolled it out in our team in place of Confluence.
It's a pretty neat markdown wiki built on top of ProseMirror. There are some trade-offs (such as the lack of a self-hosted solution) but so far it made my life a lot easier: the UI is better, the search works as it should, the setup and maintenance are minimal.
If you're looking for a self-hosted solution, MediaWiki or DokuWiki might be better options.
Could really use a Dark theme. But so far looks pretty good.
We need something we could eventually use company-wide, and not many wikis are designed with non-technical users in mind. I'd be happy with just Markdown but a WYSIWYG editor is nice to have. Will keep testing, thanks!
