One command?... I'm sure I read something cool about 'cp' being faster or whatever; is there anything else?) wouldn't go with ZFS instead.

Licensing: the ZFS license is, last I checked, incompatible with the GPL. That makes it a non-starter for me at least.

Why? (Honest question)

Primarily because it means that ZFS will never be an integral part of the GPLv2-licensed Linux kernel.
