I've haven't seen those problems with ext4. I ran it on thousands of
machines in a school environment where the kids more often than not
would just turn the power off in order to leave quickly. So the
machines got hard rebooted several times a day and I never had any
problem with any of them scrambling their data. They just took a lickin
and kept on ticking... much to my amazement, I had just assumed that
they would screw on up from time to time by just random chance.
I can tell you that a kid picking up a keyboard and beating a computer
with it seems to be a sure fire way to scramble the data though :)

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.

I noticed when I installed the latest kubuntu a couple of weeks ago that
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
