It is DIRECTLY related to the OS scene.
Take me for example. I am typing this reply on my Opensuse machine, which has / and /home both formatted in reiserfs.
Tonight, I will reinstall, and format in XFS. Not because of some ideology that I will not use something a murderer created, or now that I know for certain he is a murderer.
No, I will be removing reiserfs from this machine as in essence it too is dead. It might not have been a one man show, but the head of the dragon is now cut off, and I cannot see it being developed much more than it is at the minute.
I might be completely wrong and someone might come along, take the source code and make an excellent fs, but, until I know for sure, I will change to a fs that currently is still being developed.
As a side note, apart from reiserfs... what is the best/fastest filesystem for Opensuse11 ?
