I prefer to use the wiki for information - primarily for ship and weapon stats. The presentation style of the wiki, to me, is far more easy to navigate than FLStat's clustered together rows and columns. Not to mention, it's handy to be able to look up the information on my phone when I'm not at home!
An automatically updating wiki could be a great way to retain newer players. Placing myself in their shoes, if I had access to the same information via an additional software program as I do on a website, I'm going to default to the website simply because I don't have to install anything.
This is why I've helped with some wiki edits myself recently, and I'm tremendously grateful to the others who have pitched in with those efforts. The wiki is nifty!
