Honestly, I don't agree. NILFS has features that Btrfs will never have,
simply because of it's design. NILFS is based on incremental
checkpoints, which are set every few seconds. A checkpoint can be
flagged as snapshot retroactively. Thus even files deleted by accident
can be simply restored. That's a completely different concept. A
concept that might be even more suitable for a single user desktop than
the concept of Btrfs.
