I can't remember how it felt when I first got the bike, but I've thought the braking performance has been a bit weak for a few couple years.
As for wet weather - I can still stop in the rain better on this disk set up than rim brakes, but the performance does degrade a bit in the rain/when wet.
At this point the bike is still fine to ride so I will likely leave everything as-is. If there were a bigger issue with a creased cable housing or pads that were worn down to zilch then I would start looking at replacing stuff. I'm just not there yet. I may reconsider this winter or next spring.
