That's the least #buyer thing you've ever written. What do you think are the issues with design and availability at the moment? I do appreciate that moving to discs means getting a new frame, and I do appreciate that there are several standards out there at the moment with regards to attaching wheels and calipers to frames, but to suggest they don't work better than calipers (or are about the same) is nonsense. The difference is huge. I reckon once you eventually try a bike with them, you'll see the light :)
Out of interest, are there any statements out there from pros who are using them? Do Roompot, Merida etc riders like them? I guess their sponsors will be asking them to be positive, but it'd be interesting to know.

I have just not full hydro. I don't need discs until they get cheaper, lighter, better designed and more readily available everywhere. I am talking about the whole set up including frame design.
The ball is very much in manufactures court IMO.
I am also not saying that no one needs discs. There are uses specific to discs e.g hippy or skinny's endurance races. Maybe commuting.
