I've used Confluence and Socialtext and the experience couldn't have been more different. Admittedly the version of Socialtext was an old one. The thing that really differentiates the two is the platform support. Socialtext (a year ago) ran on such a limited infrastructure and hardly a corporate one that I wondered how it had the label enterprise wiki. Confluence, on the other hand, runs on almost anything - well it's Java-based.
However, I have to agree with Mayfield - it's about time Atlassian did this integration. At least it addresses the poor wiki offering MS put into Sharepoint native.
The Newsgator integration is interesting too. Having now enabled the use of RSS internally (deployed a reader, started developing feed sources in Intranet and internal apps) this central management of feeds with community/emergent benefits is the next obvious step.

Update: Socialtext CEO Ross Mayfield points out that his company launched SocialPoint a year ago, which integrates his wiki platform with SharePoint. He congratulates Atlassian and NewsGator on their SharePoint integration.
