Well, you gain a bunch of features for free, like distributed storage, signed edits, etc. Also, I already know how to use Git, which saves me time over having to learn a whole new set of commands to use some other wiki software.

And frankly, is it really different from using someone else's library or module?

Yeah, even already knowing git isn't necessary. If you didn't learn git, you could learn it, and then you have the skills to use it for all sorts of stuff.

No specialized wiki software can be a DVCS or backup system.
