Brakes

Why is so much better to have the rotor brakes?

it gives you more stopping power because there is more surface area to brake pad contact.

Also, if your rims get muddy (which they will) the performance of v-brakes will be hampered. Brake rotors, however, rarely get caked up with dirt and mud, so you're still able to brake well even in yuckie conditions.

I don't happen to like disc-brakes but they seem to be the new standard.
