I think they should compare it more with Btrfs. It's not fully out yet (the fsck utility in particular has yet to surface), but it seems to have a lot of the same underlying technology as ReFS - while at the same time providing a few features that ReFS does not... For example, copy-on-write snapshots.
I'd say, overall, the five filesystems to be compared are:
Commonly used already:
ZFS
Ext4
NTFS
In Development:
ReFS
Btrfs
The reason why I include Ext4 in there, is because it's the de-facto filesystem on Linux at the moment - hence it's good to compare things to how things "Really are," and not just how things "Will be."
