My issue with discs is the difficulty in keeping them functional day-in and day-out when they require such narrow tolerances and any warp at all turns them into a noisy nuisance. When I had a disc-equipped bike, I spent far more time fussing with them than I did either cantis or V-brakes on my other bikes.
I don't want to derail this thread, but most people having problems with disc brakes don't know how to properly set up the brakes, don't know how maintain them, or both. I've been running mech and hydro disc brakes for years, and although initially one does need to learn setup and maintenance, there are no "noisy nuisance" issues as you claim.
I remove my front wheel daily to transport, and change wheelsets frequently, without any adjustment needed. The benefit of disc brakes vastly outweighs the time it takes to learn proper setup and maintenance.
