I'm an IT guy; having developed computer software systems for going on 30 years.
I'm a film and digital shooter, and I am one of the minority because I will not jab one or the other, nor will I say one is better then the other. Both require talent, technical acumen, camera workflow, darkroom skills (yes both do), and both can take a lot of time, patience, both can cause a frustration, anger, and satisfaction too.
I shoot 90% film, 10% digital.
Film and digital are both fantastic ways for one to express themselves artistically. Both can be used to make awesome pictures or craaap pictures.
Film shooters are not "better" then digital shooters, and the reverse is true too.
I really wish this us-versus-them polarity would cease because as long as one is polarized, then disrespect, irrationality, and close mindedness will color their thoughts.
A pattern I have found is that film bigots believe outright lies about digital, and digital bigots believe outright lies about film.
Both film snobs and digital snobs are closed minded fools.....
Now that is the most sensible thing i have read on any forum on the old film vs digital debate.
Well said that man!
FWIW I work full time as a studio photographer in a small village in Norway, 95% of my work is digital, but I love film and use it as often as I can...
For personal work and even family stuff I prefer film, it gets me away from the computer and into my dark sanctuary full of smelly chemicals...

Plus I enjoy using old cameras, great pulling out a camera from the thirties or fifites at a wedding.. guaranteed a smile!
