My main complaints have been described on this list:

* Registration/login is confusing. I agree with Erik that it's even
  unnecessary and against the Wiki Way.

* Look and feel is complex. I don't care whether CamelLinks are
  necessary, but it's nice to have a simple alternative. OTOH all the
  other window dressing in TWiki is just discouraging to see.

In short, Ward Cunningham's original, see

http://www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WelcomeVisitors,

is in almost every way an improvement on its successors. Simple,
clean, and fluid. All the safeguards are behind the scenes. No frames,
sidebars, rows of commands, etc.
