All joking aside, I've recovered reiserfs much more often than I've gotten 
anything useful out of a bad ext2/3 filesystem.

You have to know it's limitations, but I've had a growing reiserfs file 
system for over two years now that I've had to --rebuild-tree on at least 
3 times and never lost a drop of data.

My ext2/3 boot patition has died a similar number of times, and no amount 
of e2fsck gave me any data back (but luckily, /boot is fairly easy to 
rebuild).

I swear *by* reiser much more often than I swear *at* reiser, but I've done 
both.
