I disagree about them being in an infant phase, they're new to road but the tech is mature, right?
I've got R685s and they're leaps and bounds ahead of rim brakes in stopping power, modulation, working exactly the same when piss wet and not wearing down my rims every time I brake.
TurtleRecall-
I tried riding on some mechanical discs on a CX bike and was quite disappointed tbh-really hard to modulate, and quite abrubt when they did actually stop. A well set up rim brake is, in my opinion, better than shit discs. Yet I do recognise hydraulic is supposed to be much better, so I'll reserve final judgement but till then, quite happy with rim brakes.
If it aint breakin' don't fix it kind of thing.

They are still in infant phrase. I'd say iPhone 3Gs.
Pros don't really 'need' them. Bit of 'if it aint broke why fix it' thing maybe.
