You lose some of the more interesting features doing that, though, I think.
Like what?
I was thinking about macros, but you can apparently use them via a special directive.
And of course if you don't need those features you can use ReST, right? That is, there's some way to specify markup language per page, no?
Yes, you can specify "#format rst" at the top of the page to set the default syntax and also "#!rst" in a page region to set the syntax used within that region:

I'm personally about +5 on having a ReST option. If available, I doubt I'd ever use anything else on a software project "dev and support" wiki.
Well, it would be interesting to know which Confluence features are actively used so that we can focus on supporting their equivalents in Moin.
