Please stop with the FUD... 'long time ago'? No elaboration on what implementation/platform you 'played with'?
With a proper implementation, ZFS is an excellent, mature, reliable option for storage... maybe not quite the fastest/highest performing screaming speed demon, but enterprises are concerned with more than just raw performance - in fact, data integrity tops the list.

Yes, the LINUX version has a long way to go (due to stupid licensing restrictions it must be rewritten from scratch to get into the kernel), but personally I'm chomping at the bit for BTRFS, which looks like it is coming closer to usability for production systems (just got a basic fsck tool which now just needs to be perfected).
