My first experience of hydro brakes was a set of Deores, circa 2015. They were sooooo much better than v-brakes or Avid BBs, that I've never felt the need to try anything else (bar that one weekend at the Golfie where I wondered about 4-pots).
I did try a demo bike with Magura MT5s once. The lever action felt really light until they started to bite; I found that a bit odd. Something I could be tempted to try is Magura calipers with Shimano levers.
