- PBwiki -it's got ease of use on its side, new users should be able to create pages easily.
- wikidot - its interface is a bit intimidating, it's hard to know where to start, having the "edit button at the bottom of the page is not intuitive.
- PBwiki edit interface - uses very familiar icons, similiar to using MS office or any type of other popular text editing software, even similiar to Bloggers edit interface.wikidot - opts to use buttons
- Wikidot - opts to use buttons that are less intuitive.
- Wikidot suppports all kinds of bizarre and unexpected editor features such as: mathematical equations, inline mathematical expressions, equation reference, bibliography block, citations and footnotes.
- PBwiki - has many of the above Wikidot features, but they are buried in the plug-ins menu.
- Wikidot - you can embed audio and video quickly
- PBwiki - you have to find the embed video in the plug-ins section
- Wikidot - not a wysiwyg editor
- PBwiki - closer to a wysiwyg than Wikidot
- Wikidot - has its own html/wiki syntax, not really a plus in my book
- PBwiki - uses nice and straightforward HTML
- Wikidot - no access to the HTML code
- PBwiki - can edit the HTML, but no CSS support
In a nutshell, I will gladly resign some control to have the ease of a nicely designed interface to use to create "quick and dirty" wiki pages. Don't think I will be giving up my PBwiki account any time soon for a Wikidot account.
