Moin moin [0] is widely used too, and it has a version which can run without install [1]. You can put it i.e. on a USB, and carry your wiki with you.
Also, it's interesting ikiwiki [2], which puts your wiki on git. This may be very technical, or perfect, depends on the person.
Why do you think you need alternative solutions to those you said? What do you want to solve?
Used Dokuwiki years ago and it was ok for me. Still use mediawiki at work, even I've some scripts to auto-update the wiki from the infrastructure using the mediawiki api and templates.
Mediawiki is "the wiki", the only pain comes when you want to limit permissions matching say... the groups of an ldap... and things like that. It's not impossible, but it's a pain.
Nice thoughts!
When I think about wiki, I think about team work.
After read yours comments I could find (googling) a proprietary solution called Confluence[1]. Maybe it's what I'm looking for. Lets see...
You might want to try to specify which problems, in your eyes, a wiki solves, and maybe also which ones are inadequately solved by a wiki but that you want to be solved.
Otherwise you're essentially asking "I want something like X, but not X", which will probably not lead to any paradigm shift as you seem to be looking for...

There are more options [3] and comparatives [4].

I'm just thinking if out there are something that solves all problems that wiki solves but is not "wiki based".
I'm looking for a paradigm shift.

if it's about collaborative working on a long text: perhaps plain text-files and a version control system like git is the way to go?
if you want to discuss about a medium-length text, you could use a etherpad.
