Mostly and mainly because I never used them, I was riding roadies in 90's then switched to track. Just exchanging opinions here.

Fair enough. I do cringe when I see people DIY-ing front discs onto rim brake forks though. This is because when I had Genesis Croix I had to buy some bolt replacements for the QRs. Every time I broke hard the the wheel would twist out of the fork ends. So the forces must be quite high and I'm not convinced regular forks won't end in disaster at some point.

Discs are far superior braking to rims, especially in the wet - no arse clenching moments waiting for the film of water to clear before the bite of the blocks on the rim.
Far far easier modulation. I don't understand why you think it's suicidal tbh
