    I Googled xfs and there is a whole development world out there for 
xfs. Even a bugzilla :-)

They are working on tools for xfs and there are many out there.

The reason to use xfs is that it is slightly faster than ext3 and 
doesn't have the long file system check of ext3. I am totally happy with 
ext3. I am old and not in a hurry.
