Question ReiserFS vs ext3 vs anything else?

As i'm sure you all know, ext2 (and then ext3) is the most widely used linux fs... but some distros (SUSE & Debian) are now chosing to either use by default, or at least give the option of using ReiserFS.

What is it about ReiserFS that's so great exactly? I understand that it has a limitless number of inodes, but surely there's more to it than this, right?

Also, just out of interest, are there any other fs types that other distros are using apart from ext[2,3] and reiserfs?
