Because vbrakes are like bumper lanes for bowling.
Ok ok not really, i just dont have any love for them unless its on a bike with a suspension fork where the vbrake is beneficial. Cantis allow for a wider tolerance in wheel trueness and dont lock up nearly as often since there is better modulation. They also allow for a wider tire and fender.
...all of what i just posted is based on my experiences riding my bikes and servicing mine and other bikes. It may be that i have experience with bad vbrakes.
