tl;dr I know all of that.  It still doesn't change the fact that the
features are tied to a filesystem that isn't actually read yet.  It
doesn't matter how simple it is to use if it doesn't actually keep
your data safe.

The other tools leave much to be desired.  That is largely a userspace
problem though, which can be corrected by writing better tools.  In
either case, it requires someone to pitch in and fix the issues,
either in the filesystem itself in the case of btrfs, or in the tools
around the other things.
