Works fine here. I think you would have been jumping the gun if you
were asking this in 2009, but by now it's well understood and the tools
are fine in 2011. It's been around long enough.
I use it anywhere that I have multi-gigabyte files that need to be
handled with speed (deleting large files on ext3 is an exercise in
patience) or where I have lots and lots of little files (which ext3
sometimes had trouble with).
