True, but since most people don't have enough time or resources to do
exhaustive testing of every possible option, anecdotal evidence from other
people's experiences are all they have upon which to base their decision.

Obviously I can't predict what will happen a year from now, but what I can
say is that XFS has been a lot more reliable for me and that the userland
tools are a lot more affective and complete than those provided by the
reiser people. When Reiser3 began acting up for me reiserfsck and mounting
the filesystem both said it was in good shape, but as soon as I touched a
certain file the screen would go blank and the box would reboot, I had to
hook up a serial console to even see that Reiser3 was the problem.
And on top of it all, XFS is actually maintained. Reiser3 was pretty much
dropped on the floor once Namesys started working on Reiser4. Reiser3
hasn't been touched by anyone from Namesys in years leaving SuSe to do
pretty much all of the maintenance.
