Is there a reason in particular why btrfs is not part of this discussion? It's been mentioned once in passing.

A solid article, but missing discussion of XFS and Btrfs. I would have enjoyed the author’s analysis of the former in particular, especially as compared to ext4.

Also biased towards APFS which has quite some problems, e.g. unicode normalization hell.
