I can't say that I hate rear disc brakes. I make a lot of money replacing them frequently. They almost never wear out, they sieze into uselessness long before that. But I guess nonfunctional discs are still better than drum brakes that can basically be ignored for 100-200k miles. (At least on Corollas)
I can't say I have ever had a problem with rear disc brakes.. rear drums I have had problems with.
I definitely agree with NOHOME and Knurled. I feel like a lot of people hate on rear drums just on the general principle of them, not because of how well they actually function.
I've had to replace a LOT more rear discs, calipers, etc. than I have drums, and I've had pretty much an equal mix of each. Also, at least on the older Hondas I've had, the rear discs are heavier than the drums for the same model.
