12 - upstream has serious real life troubles
13 - SuSE is not anymore so interested in reiser3
14 - a continuously changing linux kernel may lock a reiser user to an old
15 version (pain for a security oriented system)
16 - ext3 evolving and becoming ext4 in a reasonable mount of time
17 - major advantages only with _many_ files in one single directory

19 don't get me wrong I liked and still like reiserfs but it's time is gone
