I mean if you used a given type of derailleur gear system and found it either good or bad, most people would think it a bit of a leap to then suggest that they might all be like that....

But that's not what I'm implying,I've clearly said Avid BB7's.I've only ever tried one other disc system, TRP Spyres,which I had small reservations* about hence me changing them for BB7 MTN's,which was a worthwhile swap out that didn't cost me anything.
I like stuff that just works and doesn't need constant tending to,BB7's fall squarely into that category IME,if there's a downside after 6or7 years use I haven't found one yet YVMV
*unnecessarily overcomplicated two pad actuation design that needed a tool to adjust whilst out riding,they also squealed loudly when hot or wet or both,which I could've perhaps cured by changing rotors,but it tipped the scales,actual braking performance was very similar with the Spyres perhaps feeling a leettle more spongy at the lever,but nothing critical .
