Haha well everyone has anecdotes. I went into the side of a car which turned across me into a junction from the other direction. I had the priority/right of way going straight on but I still couldn't stop in time because of my shitty cable pull discs which had deteriorated to being very ineffective. Took them off the same day. I've had various SRAM, Shimano, hope and magura hydro brakes and whilst they can be a pain, require messy bleeding, all of them stop on a dime, every time
I think it was TRP spyres. The pad adjustment seems fickle at best or just doesn't do anything at worst so I never could adjust them better. Agreed on bb7s though. I had some at one point and they were a lot simpler.
Was years ago now anyway, I won't bother with anything but hydro or rim brake now
