I can attest that Rim Brakes in several inches of snow or freezing rain become a problem. Ice builds up on the rim, and you have trouble braking, so you have to drag the brakes every once in a while so the leading edge can knock the accumulation off. A disk brake is up out of the elements and fare better.

I like both of them and will continue to ride both of them

Rim brakes are easier to maintain, cheaper, and lighter that disc brakes.

Both have their pros and cons, but disc brakes can be a hassle to take care of (bent rotors because of people not being careful when they park their bike next to yours), parts contamination, hydraulic brakes have their own issues.

My only complaint about rim brakes is that rims are expensive to replace, so riding in the winter can get expensive if you aren't on top of keeping things clean.

Stopping power can be excellent on rim brakes, just don't use shitty pads.

I have one converted ebike with rim brake and one mtb with disc brake(cable), and honestly while rim brake never give me much issue, but after having to replace both rim due to wearing out(with one almost blown out on me mid ride), i'd say disc brake is significantly better in a way it's no hassle and easy to maintain and adjust. Other than that i don't feels like one have any advantage on braking over the other, both brake really well. I can see a lot of really low budget bike still come with rim brake and it doesn't really matter.

We need wireless rim brakes.
