I know this post is now pretty old and moodle has just released their latest version (2.9), but i think ill answer anyway :) Moodle is like Jazz ! you may not like it at first but once you get used to it you start appreciating it. Just like Jazz the customization options are limitless especially if you try to integrate Moodle with another platform, for example integrating Moodle with WordPress can be an interesting proposition. However, Moodle is not for every one - I would say it is more popular in the educational sector rather than the corporate world. I have implemented/ used moodle for staff education at my workplace for 6 years and it worked pretty well but it required certain amount of web development to make it work exactly like we wanted it to. So if you can afford a commercial LMS go for it, unless you are happy to customize etc. or live with the vanilla version.
It will be interesting to see what Articulate changes in Articulate online, considering Adobe Prime was recently launched. One of the the missing pieces in Articulate online system is the flexibility to accept SCORM packages developed in a non articulate authoring tool, i am sure this minor change will make several people happy, oh and yes social learning, mobile learning, event driven learning would be good to have too :D
