They are mostly waterproof so you don't loose braking in the wet.
Easily adjusted.
All machanical linkage. No bleeding, no fuss.
No disrespect intended but some like rear disks because they look cool and think they are more modern but for the speeds we run (like SANY said) they are not needed and shoes are carefree.

And there is no rear brake cylinder sticking down just where a rock can take it out. I like the 11 inch's of clearance my drum gives me.
