I grew up with film, it was the only option until I was in my 30s. So I grew to appreciate the differences between films and lenses, what I could do with different combinations. I did largely "go digital" from 2008 to 2013 when by chance I rediscovered B&W film due to going on holiday and forgetting the charger for my DSLR. I've never felt that digital cameras can mimic film, it's a different medium with it's own advantages and disadvantages - though it did turn me into a lazy photographer for a time. I've never felt that desaturated digital images are any substitute for B&W film, while colour digital images are actually quite difficult to shoot such that they look good without lots of editing. And I'd rather be shooting than at my laptop!
That said, I do shoot both film and digital...and I both scan and print traditionally depending on what I'm doing. I share a lot of my photos online so scanning works well for this. But sometimes I do like to print a photo in the dark room to put on the wall or in an album. I only do B&W dev and print at home, colour I send out to a lab. Despite having a Nikon D7100 and associated accessories I do shoot colour film too, ultimately I find it more satisfying.
I get what Sirius is saying about getting the moment right, especially when out and about photographing the unpredictable such as wildlife. I often find that young people who didn't grow up with film don't understand how patience works with film photography, that it can be better than a scattergun approach. Where digital wins is high ISO colour work, especially as Fuji 1600 has been axed.
These days I do tend to apply my film photography skills to digital, to try to "get it right" first time rather than take 8 shots of the same scene and choose the best in Photoshop or similar. It's more technically challenging and fun that way. I admit to sometimes getting a kick from choosing an inappropriate camera for a situation...making it work and seeing people's reactions. Such as taking my 6x6 folder to the summit of Mount Etna or a box camera to a school reunion. The 6x6 folder, being from 1937, also gets interesting looks at the local jazz/blues club....
I am also finding younger photographers brought up on high ISO and high shutter speeds genuinely don't understand how I can hand hold film cameras with 100 ISO film even in sunlight....I hear people say "100 ISO? You just can't do that". It does seem that the ease of use of digital cameras and phones - as useful as they are - has caused a lack of basic technique in younger practitioners of our hobby. I use my Galaxy S9 from time to time too, it's handy and always on my person.
