I am less convinced by the weird behaviour one though...
it is probably for another thread (bearing in mind that these things don't all result in complete brake failure), but I could write reams on the subject.

FWIW. I am not much of a fan of (hydraulic) discs either.
They are powerful but fiddly and have annoying traits sometimes.
Although fiddlyness is not totally exclusive to hydraulic brakes!
But I don't have much experience of hydraulic discs really.
One set I did have some dealings with were so squeaky the owner nearly went nuts! Though they were super powerful and easily modulated.
One the other hand the hydraulics on my automotive and plant are incredibly reliable and never exhibit "weird" behaviour. They do what it says on the tin, on and on and on for years on end.
Ditto my Magura rim brakes.
