Disc brake for road bike or cantilevers? (rim brakes)

Real Cyclists

From Velo News | February 12, 2013 

Would you install disc brake in your roadies?  The disc has been around for MTBs.  Many swear to their braking efficiency that you can modulate braking better, you can brake later.

However, previous users also swear that disc brakes can cause injuries (they can cut your fingers- they are sharp), wear fast and can get fouled easily by rain and dirt.  Europeans dont use disc brakes in their roadies.  They are also heavy.

What do you prefer?

What is your experience?

In the future would you install disc brake in your road bike?
