Life is full of tradeoffs. Shimano hydro disc brakes are awesome.
Oh... you didn't understand me about SRAM hydraulics. SRAM brakes are awesome too. I don't miss Shimano when braking, I can do wheelies from the tops with my weak hands.

I only think it should be possible to replace the pads without something inside the brake going wrong. And bleeding the brake after that shouldn't require a degree.

Shimano brakes have their part too... they're easy on maintenance, but hope nothing fails or you'll discover the fantastic world of non-existant spare parts.
