I am amazed this debate continues, there is a clear hierarchy of performance and ease of maintenance.
For everyday riding I'm inclined to agree. For racing off-road, it's a case of whatever is light, works and easily repaired, and in my own experience mechanical discs are more resilient to my maintenance regime than hydraulics.
