Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat oysters?
Antoninus: When I have them, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you eat snails?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus: No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus: Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus: It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus: My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.

I prefer film. I take mostly digital photos [although that may change], but I prefer the look of images made on film. Also, I feel I have to work for it more with film - limited exposures, expense etc won't let me machine-gun shoot such as is possible with digital. Film photography feels closer to art.
This is just my opinion, not based on facts, statistics, or scientific study.

I'm going to boring. My honest opinion? Horses for courses. I was 100% digital for several years. The past few years I've swung back to analogue, until the present when I'd guess I'm about 90% film, and just use digital when I need a quick image. I am now concentrating on home processed b/w - especially but not exclusively medium format. However, I'm not an analogue purist, because I have no interest in traditional printing - I just develop film and scan, and I'm happy with that. I principally share online, and ANY image that you see in pixels is digital - end of. Why do I bother shooting in film in the first place? 1) I like using awesome film cameras that are far more affordable than the latest mid range DSLR. 2) I enjoy the work flow of waiting for, then developing and even scanning film. It might change later should I get bored with it. But I'm presently still on a learning curve. 3) least importantly, I like the end result, the images that hybrid film/digital produces.
Digital is great, it's the future, and I do use it, and most likely will use it more at some point in the future. But for now I'm enjoying hybrid. That's the great thing about being amateur. We do what the fuck that we want for the pure enjoyment of photography.
