I'd love to run D7 but there are questions over D7's performance, and as Giza says, a lot of modules aren't on board with it. Many aren't actively maintained, and you can't squeeze a guarantee out of an unmaintained module.
Worse, in Drupal the modules appear to be tightly coupled to a changing API. This is quite unlike MediaWiki; it took me just one evening to migrate to the latest beta in our test architecture (and most of that was fixing WikiFur-specific patches). There was only one extension with an issue, and it's one I could work around easily if I had to - fortunate, since it's heavily used by some of our editions. I foresee it taking considerably longer to update to D7.
There's absolutely a lot of cool features there (//drupalcode.org/viewvc/drupal/drupal/CHANGELOG.txt?view=markup), but users care a lot more about content than what the web server is running. I'm sure these issues can be resolved, and will be . . . but I'd rather wait until they are.
