I've got a Prius and don't have brake problems.
What some people perceive as brake problems is that when you have it in normal drive position, the engine is not engaged to give you any additional engine braking when you let off the gas. Accordingly, you do have to put a little more pressure on the brake and sooner when compared to driving another car. More of a perception issue than a real braking issue. I notice it when slowing down for a corner, in my pickup or any other vehicle the engine slows it down as I usually back off the gas fairly early and don't have to brake so much. With the Prius, I have to brake a little sooner than the other vehicles.
The Prius also has a drive gear that allows the engine to be engaged for braking. I've used it in the mountains and it works allright but for normal flat land driving, I don't use it.
Prius brakes are a non issue if you understand what is going on.
