The same can be said of Btrfs — with a slight difference in the storage world though, nobody sane would run a system of two dozen interdependent moving parts with no redundancy or backups and expect it to stay working for long.

Both Btrfs and ext4 have eaten my data. I deserved it with the former, but the latter trashed one of my partitions a few months after being declared safe to use. And this was prior to the fiasco with fsync reordering truncating people's KDE config files and such.

I've been a bit more forgiving of other filesystems since then, since the de-facto standard has forced me to *really* lower my own standards.
