I also understand the conceptual benefits of technology layering as done in linux (RAID, and/or LVM, FS), but ZFS's vertical integration and monolithic set off tools are SO nice and consistent.

Yup, what happened with butter fs?? It was supposed to be better than zfs, wasn't it?

It exists and it's pretty good so far, but it's still far from the functionality and polish of ZFS.
