Is it worth switching to BTRFS for the average user?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm mostly in it for the RAID1 with checksums. If a bit gets flipped, it'll get flipped right back from the other copy next time the automatic scrub happens. Normal RAID1 can't do this because, without checksums, it doesn't know which copy is good.
If you've written shell scripts, I don't think you're an average user. 😋
