Most of what I'm about to write is admittedly anecdotal but it's the only file system in Linux which has actively and regularly caused me to lose data on desktops, laptops, servers and even on mobile phones when I haven't taken precautions and done regular backups. Something I don't have to actively do when using ext4 in my workstations and notebooks.

We had similar excitement back when reiserfs was popular. My limited
play with btrfs reminds me of reiserfs: feature-filled but fragile and
unsuitable for "/" partitions.
