Sorry but it makes me laugh. There is _no_ (real) innovation within Linux and what about quality? The largest variety? The largest variety of so-so filesystems.

Mmm... but it's true. The only innovation was to come from reiser4 forever. Btrfs is just Oracle attempt to bring ZFS-like FS to Linux kernel. Ext4 is Ext3++. The rest are domain specific FS. Too little innovation. But then, innovation is just a buzzword.
