I disagree, I think it's wonderful. I installed on my mum's system because I knew (despite instructions to the contrary) she would just power off when it didn't do what she wanted it to do. Sure enough she does. The reiserfs? It barely skips a beat on rebooting and comes up as if nothing happened. That's worth a lot to the errant home user... no more lengthy fsck-ing about! And no tech support worries for me.
Your comments made me want to try it. Did you use SuSE 7 for this? Is it any harder to install/set up than if you use the regular filesystem?
It's just as easy or even easier to setup than ext2. In 6.4 it was best to put /boot onto an ext2 partition but that wasn't even necessary I think if you mounted with the the notail option (don't take my word for that, though, I just setup a small /boot partition on ext2, reiser is not meant for small partitions).
