I belive that ZFS definitely belongs on a desktop,
Apple (and I) assuredly agree with you.
I would agree as well. With the proper UI (which I hope Apple has

Full disclosure: I don't think anyone outside Apple yet knows for
SURE if it's going to be in Leopard (or even a future release). Found
this sceptical article today - or is it out of date?

as I have not yet renewed my paid developer program at Apple) ZFS
is a killer on the desktop, especially on OS X where everything of
importance has to be or likes to live on the boot device (I
understand that OS X does not yet support booting on ZFS but
someday it will), but on any consumer class desktop it is killer
because it removes the need to worry about disks from the end
user. You need more space, buy a new disk or two and then just add
them into the "pool" of storage.
The killer feature for me is checksumming and self-healing.
