Having just built a road bike with disk brakes I'll rejoin with "Don't diss it until you've tried it". I love discs. Loooooove them.
I'm not a "real road racer" but then neither are 99% of cyclists. Real road racers get paid to ride, the rest of us do it for enjoyment.
I'm fairly big (185 cm, almost 90 kg) and perhaps oddly for someone my size I love climbing but that inevitably means coming down again. I'm now faster down the hills because I have so much more confidence.
