Yeah I guess they probably are.
I've just had a spell of leaky hydros and also bled about a dozen brakes for mates recently so I'm over oil and dot for now.
I currently have one bb7 which is on the back of my mtb. Have had it on the front and it rubbed a bit. Probably due to me being a retro grouch and using 9mm QR axle so not the stiffest.
Maybe I'll just go for a bb7 on the front and put up with the " shing shing shing".

Not yet. I'm guessing they're a bit niche, as good hydraulics are cheap and luddites like myself can buy BB7s for very little.
I'm only one ride into mine so far and no complaints. Will do a long term review, after they've been abused for a few months.
