NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems ๐Ÿ˜ (en.wikipedia.org)

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install ๐Ÿ‘

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

You want your filesystems to be old and stable. It's new filesystems you want to view with suspicion.. not battle tested.

I wouldn't really say so. Of course it's not a good idea take the absolutely latest system as your daily driver since it's propably not bugproof yet but also you don't want to use something extremely old just because it's been tested much more because then you're just trading away perfomance and features for nothing. For example ext4 is extremely reliable and the stable version is 15year newer than NTFS.
