5 or 6 years ago, it took a single power failure to basically screw up my filesystem. From the comments on the article, it seems it's not really a solved issue (or rather, people don't consider that an issue). I'd think again before using XFS on my desktop. (I've had power failures on quite a few other occasions, with all sorts of other filesystems. I did lost the occasional file, but at least I could still boot those systems..)
