I've been using it for a looong time on my desktop box. Yeah, you can
be bitten easier than ordered, and I have been, but it's never been
anything major. The risk for me is worth it, as data=ordered sucked
really bad.
If I didn't need to maintain compatibility with 30+ old kernels for
regression testing, I'd upgrade desktop to ext4, and likely be happy.

That's not my experience. I've yet to have to rebuild my ext3 fs since
upgrading box to shiny new opensuse 11.1 (however long ago and how many
many explosions ago that was;)
