LOL!
I use ext3 for main partitions so that if the power fails, I be likely
to have a corrupt filesystem. I still use ext2 for /boot, for
example, because it is small (therefore the journal's overhead is more
expensive) and it isn't updated very frequently and so the probability
of corruption is lower.
As for ext3 vs $OTHER_JOURNALLED_FS, I already had ext2 disks with
data, so moving to ext3 was easy and painless. Moving to anything
else wouldn't have been so simple.
