I can't say I've much seen ext4 stabilize. I've had way more issues
with it with unclean shutdowns and repairs that need intervention than I
ever had with reiserfs for far longer.
Admittedly all the issues may or may not be ext4's direct fault, but
I've tried as much wackiness then w/reiser as I do now experimenting
with features now that cause a panic, and found ext4 somewhat more
fragile when provoked. YMMV.
I don't condone reiserfs's use much today because the performance is
pretty poor by modern standards (check phoronix for benchmarks against
ext3/4, btrfs, xfs). Otherwise I'd rather trust my data to Reiser's
code personally, dubious character of the creator or not.

reiserfs was one of the options to use for formatting the partition.
Does it have some advantage over newer filesystems? Or is it there
because it's been around for several years?
I never really saw the purpose of Resiser since ext4 stabilized. However!
ReiserFS is murderously fast and has tons of killer features
