Would I want to store a lot of important write-once data on HFS? Reluctantly, if at all. High-throughput database? Yuck, no.
Would I trust it with a source-tree that is stored in a DVCS and immediately restorable, while also giving me much faster compiles? Yep.
Would I choose either FS for a server? Nope. That was the point - there is no single "best" file system, or the world would've long ago settled on it. Look at what you need it for, and make your decision accordingly.
