Choosing a filesystem because it's "power outage resistant" is not logical at
all. No file system is geared for power outages which is a physical failure.
So singling out ext4 is bad because you can suffer just as bad a corruption
on a power outage on any filessytem.
An OS crash is a software event and filessytems can be geared to deal with
it, whereas a power outage is physical event and there is no way for software
to deal with it.
That's why you have things like UPS to ensure that your system goes for a
clean halt/suspend during a power outage.
