btrfs is good, but it's far from perfect. RAID 5 and 6 don't exactly work, it can have problems at high snapshot counts, and there's lots of even recent reports of corruption and other kinds of filesystem damage.

It feels more user friendly than ZFS, but ZFS is much more feature complete. I used to use btrfs for all my personal stuff, but honestly ext4 is just easier.
