Well, if you were also editing a wiki with a recent MediaWiki version, you'll know why we'd like to have the new features added to MediaWiki, not only usability ones, but also new API features and scripting features. Granted, if you run a piece of software and never bother to update it nor know what new features are added to the latest releases, you may think nothing has evolved, but that's a skewed perception
