Fedora 42 installer defaults to btrfs? What's everyone's opinion or experience on that? (slrpnk.net)

Not a tech support question, I'm just curious. I recently installed it. Everything is working great, feels like I got a whole new laptop compared to my previous setup. I haven't tried out any of btrfs's unique features, so I dunno, nothing special I can report about it. Coming from Debian I was just surprized by how different Fedoras installer defaults are. Do you agree with btrfs being a default option?

Another great thing about BTRFS is that it can detect hardware problems sooner: if your BTRFS drive keeps losing data to corruption; that's because it has detected a corruption that other FS's would silently work with
