Ideal brakes have a very progressive feel, apply a little braking pressure on the pedal....get a little braking power, apply a lot, get a lot. The brakes should respond according to how much pressure is put on the pedal.

Porsche brakes (when in good condition) provide a great linear, progressive, and "non-fake" feel.....one that stays there through multiple hard braking attempts. Try that with any other floating caliper type performance car and you will get a really bad feeling after 4 or 5 good hard stops.
