Well, inclusion in mainline kernels is the big one over ZFS and bcachefs, I guess.

I haven't seen F2FS before, so I'm commenting on the basis of 30 seconds of Googling, here, but it doesn't look like it supports either copy-on-write or snapshots, which are the big selling points I've heard for continuing to use Btrfs on top of a device manager.
