    Functionally it’s pretty solid (I use it everywhere, from portable drives to my NAS and have yet to have any breaking issues), but I’ve seen a number of complaints from devs over the years of how hopelessly convoluted and messy the code is.

      I’ve yet to see someone state this outside of Reddit and I doubt those were devs.

        Yeah, these days Btrfs is solid and well proven for many use-cases, but its old reputation will probably never go away, at least on reddit. Interestingly BcacheFS have a great reputation, despite not being in Linux , having a way to go yet and only having one single developer which is a big problem, I think Linus worries about that too.

        If it lives up to everything Kent Overstreet says about it, it will be a great filesystem and I’ll be happy to use it, until then I’m doing good with Btrfs. On my PC I’ll probably never notice any difference between the two.
