I used it on my home machine for a few years. No problems, modulo a totally
unrelated kernel bug eating part of my / . reiserfsck --rebuild-tree got
everything back.

I saw no measurable difference in wall-clock performance between ext3 and
reiserfs. I didn't do insane amounts of benchmarking, though. (There are 5
species of mendacity, each worse than the last: Lies, damned lies,
statistics, benchmarks, and vendor promises.) The main thing I got from the
community was that certain kinds of failures will totally hose your filesystem
if it's reiserfs and be at least partially recoverable if it's ext3.
