From the ReiserFS download page at <a href="http://namesys.com/download.html" title="namesys.com">http://namesys.com/download.html</a namesys.com>:
"Don't use linux kernel 2.4.16 or earlier for reiserfs operations, as many of those releases contain critical bugs, some of the most serious of which are not in reiserfs but affect reiserfs."
You'll see a similar warning on screen as well, when you mount a ReiserFS partition. That warning alone is enough reason for me not to use it, not when my on-disk data is at risk.
It's an off-handed way to say "we did things our own way, but found out only after we released it that our code didn't play well with the rest of the Linux kernel."
