For me, it's more the attitude than anything else. The strong focus on a good fsck for ext2/3/4 tells me that the developers are highly concerned with my data. They've spend a lot of time and effort writing a high-quality tool to try to recover from code mistakes or hardware errors, and it's been a part of the design from the start, not an afterthought. I suspect that the experience has also taught them the types of corruption that hard drives and filesystems are likely to experience, and made the fs code more robust as a result.
