An Apple official on Monday said Sun's open-source file system would not be in the next version of the Mac operating system, contradicting statements made last week by Sun's chief executive. During an interview with InformationWeek, Brian Croll, senior director of product marketing for the Mac OS, said, "ZFS is not happening," when asked whether Sun's Zettabyte File System would be in Leopard. Instead, Leopard would use Apple's current hierarchical file system, called HFS+. The Apple file system was first introduced in 1998 in Mac OS 8.0.

I don't know if HFS+ is the problem, or the lack of good file system utilities.
I have personally helped many customers who needed DiskWarrior to recover from HFS+ problems (When recoverable).
Having ZFS in Leopard would have been the most valuable new feature to me.
