All my bikes since about 1970 have always had caliper brakes. I continue 
to ride caliper brake bikes with no problems. I see no reason to change 
to something that's more complex.

So can we do a poll? How many here no longer use any bikes except those 
with disc brakes? How many are still somehow surviving with (horrors!) 
caliper brakes?
