They are definitely interesting. On the surface, ext4 is doing quite well overall (yay!), but the important point to realize is that btrfs is also providing a lot of extra function under the covers so it isn't necessarily a clear-cut answer on which one to pick. The extra CPU cost of btrfs will become increasingly irrelevant in the future I think.
