I don't have an unlimited budget either. Hydraulic discs don't cost a fortune. I wouldn't run out and buy a new bike, just to get disc brakes, but I won't buy another road bike without them(unless it's a TT bike).

I'd rather go back to mechanical shifting, than to rim brakes.
I've never needed any more braking than afforded by rim brakes. I'm guessing that maximum braking is needed more in racing. I'm not against disc brakes, I personally don't have the need.
