This isn't entirely true.  I'd wager that there's alot more XFS, AFS & 
JFS boxen out there than ext2/3, with alot more data on them.

If ext3 has worked great for some folks, i'm happy for them & their 
data.  The bottom line for me is that just a single problem with ext3 
was more than i had with XFS.  Ignoring how much time a fsck takes on 
ext2/3 still doesn't make it any better.  Just watching & praying that 
everything turns out ok is not my idea of a good time.
