Nope, I'm a quite happy ext3 user for quite divergent workloads. Starting with storing loads of small files in a hugh number of directories (mkfs -T news) over hugh numbers of files in few directories (mkfs -O dir_index) to only a small number of really hugh files (mkfs -T largefile4). All that I still need to catch up with is 4TB sized files. But I guess this is really an uncommon workload, but ISTR that somebody even works on this.
