Yay, that's totally FUD to me.

Could you please elaborate a bit on your points?

Deprecated codebase?  Let me guess...

It runs on an outdated version of Rails (2.3) but only because Rails is
changing so rapidly, I believe.  There is work in progress[1] to move to
the supported branch Rails-3.x.

Slow?  Do you have any data to back this point up?

No meaningful search, eh?  Works for me.

Disappearing wiki edits?  Never seen that, but you can always file a
bug.

Certainly *you've* had some terrible luck with it. ;-)
