One certain plus point for my disc brakes-- when it rains here in SoCal (which is not often) the Santa Ana River Trail gets covered in a super-fine, sticky, slippery, silty glop that will coat your entire bike in a creamy beige. It makes a wonderful sound as your tires vacuum it up off the ground and sling it everywhere. And tires just cut through it-- imagine riding into a 2" deep, 20-foot long pool of peanut butter... then repeating that action 50 times. I saw three guys on the side of the trail this morning, scraping their brake tracks clean with a stick. Woo hoo, disc brakes!
