All my bikes are rim brakes and that is what I personally prefer because of the simplicity, tradition and potentially lower weight.
My wife's Cannondale Synapse is disc. It is heavy for what it costs even though it has carbon wheels. There is nothing wrong with it and since she has arthritis in her hands the disc brakes and Di2 where a good choice.
One definite advantage to disc is for carbon wheels no worries about braking performance, overheating or wearing out the brake track.
If I where to get another bike it would likely be custom and rim brake but would give some thought to disc.
