My only experience with btrfs was when trying out Opensuse Tumbleweed. Within a couple days my home partition was busted, next time it was another partition. No idea if the problems could be fixed as these were fairly new installations to give Opensuse a try and I couldn’t be bothered to fix a system that’s troubling me from the very beginning.
Between all the options that just work ™, btrfs is the one I’ve learned to stay away from.
EDIT: that was four or five years ago
