For me, it's a bit sad that you're moving to another wiki, as it's 
Instiki that lead me to Textmate... (Ruby -> Instiki -> LoudThinking -> 
TextMate).
Too bad David doesn't have the time to work on Instiki anymore. It 
looks like this nice project is dying.

I'm still using Instiki as my (private) wiki, but before that I used 
pmWiki, it's written in PHP and has a lot of nice features.
The only thing of your list it doesn't fit with is that it use it's own 
markup
