One of the main criticisms I read about ZFS (mainly OpenZFS) in forums and articles is that "it's not well integrated into Linux."
It's true - there is a licensing issue, and that shouldn't be underestimated. However, I believe it's wrong to judge it based on this - on FreeBSD, it is perfectly integrated (not to mention the various illumos-based OSes), and in my opinion, it should be judged for what it is, not for its integration into the different Linux distributions.
