What problems exactly?

No, they are quite mature filesystems and finally well integrated into the
linux kernel.

Ext3 is slower as far as I know. Reiserfs is quite stable.
I've had the feeling that JFS was faster when it comes to accessing larger
files and reading large directories, I mean with many files.
I have never actually tried ext3 but have read that it has many problems as
well and is quite slow. The On-disk-layout is very old already.
