[xwiki-users] A simpler configuration?

Hi, I've installed xwiki, and found it a bit too rich in features, out of the box, for a novice user. Maybe because I did not use it right? I confess I am a wikidot fan. With all its limitations, it's intuitive and mirrors the way people think. It has a very small set of features, but that's probably its strength, as it's very easy to learn. Unfortunately, its access control is too primitive to my (intranet) needs; plus, as a programmer, the idea of programmable wiki surely sounds sweet. In a nutshell, I feel wikidot makes easy things simple. xwiki makes complex things possible. Ideally, I'd love to find a wiki that does both. A wiki that looks just like wikidot out of the box, then grows on you as you learn advanced tricks. Not a system that shocks end users with busy screens and code in the edit window. 90% of users don't want to learn that; not until they are captivated by the system's ease of use. Is there such a thing?
