I've been using it for many years. At home, no issues.

We used to have lots of severe corruption issues at work on production 
servers with ext2/ext3 (and a few with xfs). We switched to reiserfs and 
no more issues. Not just a few servers either.

So i'd say quoting horror stories from 2002 definitely no longer applies.
Its like quoting horror stories about kernel 2.4 (same time frame). And 
about as relevant :-)
