Something that doesn't require looking up the syntax for absolutely
everything an editor typically wants to do. I can't be the only one
having this problem?

I'd probably be fine with something markdown too, but I'd argue
"something maintained" trumps "markdown". The value of markdown is how
many people are familiar with it (or at least github-flavored).

In the proper hands, I've seen some incredibly beautiful wiki/project
pages done by people in our community using mediawiki. The Hula project
comes to mind (and lots of other SUSE/Ximian project pages over the years).
