What is nice about disk brakes is simply their versatility. Build that frame for disk brakes and you give the most go anywhere, do anything bike on the road. Run 700 narrow, 29'er wide, 650b, 26 by-anything. All on the same frame and all without having to adjust anything.
I see versatility as an inherently Rivish / Bobish ideal. Old ways aren't always the best ways and change isn't always bad. The next custom anything of mine will absolutely have disk mounts. Right now leaning towards a Shamrock Cycles Fluid Druid.
