Flat mount advantage is that the rear triangle doesn’t need to be re-designed and can be adjusted under the chainstay instead of awkwardly inside both chainstay and seat stay.
Flat mount perfect for road. Post mount for MTB/hybrid.
The irony of which a new design and that the rear triangle doesn't have to be redesigned... ;)
Put it this way, there was no need for a new standard. It's a marketing ploy to get more sales...
To be fair, both Post and IS have significant problems. FM does deal with them.
