Significantly shorter fsck times for Ext4 is a compelling reason by itself. Reduced fragmentation and being able to handle more files as well as larger hard drives is yet more reasons. As good as btrfs is going to be, it is years away from completion ("production ready" is being touted for 2012), vs Ext4 that is just around the corner.
