A case in point, my commuting car is a 90 Corrolla with drums on the back. Just hit 200K on it, and have yet to replace the shoes in it. I check them every 3 months when I'm checking the front discs, and even though they are getting a little thin, they are still okay. The discs on the front on the other hand, I've had to replace pads about every 45 - 50K, and rotors once. The hotrods I had in high school were the same way about the wear pattern, seemed like I was always replacing front pads or shoes, and hardly ever replaced the rear shoes.
About the only reason I would consider going discs on the back would be running road tracks or rallys where you get a big handling boost by having all 4 wheels brake evenly.
Who wants to stop? Well, besides the people in front of my truck...
