Rim brakes and hydraulics have the same stopping distances in the dry. Hydraulics have an advantage in the wet. However, in order to garner this advantage, you have to take on a whole host of DISADVANTAGES: this includes:
-higher cost,
-aero penalty,
-weight penalty,
-buying a new frame and fork
-the safety risk of slicing yourself with an exposed pair of hot discs
Here is my personal experience: once I re-adjusted my rim brakes, the performance just blew me away.
You've done a very good job of creating an adversarial interaction where there was none, and found ways to take offense and attack me for it. I feel bad for you because this means SO MUCH to you that you're about to stroke out over a stranger on the internet relating HIS experience. I really feel sorry for you, man.
