Have you tried reading the code? It's twice as large (107KLOC) as ext4 (45KLOC), where ext4 is viewed as a natural evolution of ext2 (7KLOC).

45KLOC of C code already sounds really scary to me, although yeah, journaling is really nice to have.

Yes, that's scary. Understandable, but it does come with a lot of functionality that's nice to have no?
