I still run V-brakes with Coolstop pads and they work great. IMO rim brakes get too much hate, but I respect that disk brakes are better. Rim brakes are still good enough though.
I’ve never had problems with V-brakes. Easily the best rim brakes ever made. On this bike I mentioned I installed a Shimano XT V-brake at the rear. I’ve used V-brakes for so long that I have deep muscle memory of how to modulate them. They’re much cheaper too. Shimano’s hydraulic disc just has much easier modulation in my opinion, and that should make them easier and safer to use than most rim brakes.

And the change in lever movement can be adjusted with the right system. Consider a cam on a compound bow.
Yeah, I suppose the right lever could do this. I’ve used Shimano and Avid, both have poor modulation compared to Shimano’s hydraulic disc.

I run V-brakes on my bicycle too. With Koolstop pads, they work great in all conditions. 10/10, would recommend.
