I tend to agree. My experience has been that discs require less frequent cleaning and adjustment than rim brakes, but I know people who’ve had the opposite experience. Overall, I think the marketing point of stopping power is pretty bogus. The real weak point (if you want to call it that) in bicycle braking is the interface between the tire and the road, not the frame and the wheel. You can skid with a rim brake pretty easily. I guess for folks with carbon rims, discs might be nice for reducing brake fade and wear on an already not-great braking situation.
