Stephen Foskett has written a detailed post about why he considers ZFS the Best Filesystem (For Now...). He starts out:

ZFS should have been great, but I kind of hate it: ZFS seems to be trapped in the past, before it was sidelined it as the cool storage project of choice; it's inflexible; it lacks modern flash integration; and it's not directly supported by most operating systems. But I put all my valuable data on ZFS because it simply offers the best level of data protection in a small office/home office (SOHO) environment. Here's why.

It's been a long road to get to where it is and there have been many hinderances, including software patents and malicious licensing.

    its integration with Linux stinks (thanks Sun and Oracle!)

    IIRC The creators themselves where the ones don't wanting their code slide into linux kernel, so they chose CDDL.

    That's exactly what he was referring to. Those wankers.
