What is the best WYSIWYG editor for Mediawiki? There seem to be many around, but not particularly user-friendly (especially for things like tables). Anyone know what the current best offering is?

We use the wiki primarily for documentation (internal) and less for actual encycopedia-type operations (i.e referencing and citing less important). But I want it to be a user-friendly as possible - so not having users learn wikimedia markup (wikitext) would be great...

VisualEditor by a long shot. (Here's a video of table editing.) It's challenging to install though.
