With the speed, yes. With the stability, no. I use it on my desktop now, as that's for games, and use xfs on cryptoloop for my laptop. I hope to replace that with reiser4 and some crypto plugin someday. I'll follow this up with the specific problems in a bit.

In fact, regarding the whole "innovation" thing, Microsoft and others have occasionally announced that they were going to create a filesystem which could act as a database (or the other way around), and generally introduce some of the features reiser4 has solid by now.
Every time I've seen such a thing announced, it flops later. It becomes a userland project, or an abandoned project, and definitely nowhere near as usable. Reiser4, however, seems to already have that kind of functionality -- it's efficient at storing lots of tiny flat text files, and searching them randomly.
I haven't run any benchmarks against "real" databases like mysql, but if we want to talk about what V4 obsoletes, it obsoletes things which haven't even been developed/released yet (WinFS on Longhorn). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org
