My Preferred Filesystem

I just thought I would share this little screenshot with you all:

Can anyone guess what my favorite filesystem is and why?

That's right, I'm a fan of reiserfs even if its daddy is a murderer. The filesystem is fast. Really fast. I have no definitive benchmarks, I just know what I've personally experienced over the last 8 years or so. I've dabbled with the major filesystems that Linux supports like xfs, ext2, ext3, and even a little with ext4. Out of the bunch, reiserfs has always come out on top for me.

I'm not trying to start any flame wars, and I don't really care to hear why my choice is wrong--it's my choice. A few people have asked me what format I prefer, and this is just a small demonstration of why I prefer what I do. Done.
