I don't like all of the controls and menus on the digitals. I spend too much
time fumbling around with those, and finally just say "To hell with it!" and
shoot in program mode. And the pictures look like very nice snapshots.

I'm in the other camp, having used digital imaging in my profession, for
close to 15 years now.

But personally I get more satisfaction out of using analog, with a
sprinkling of digital. 
I really have no plans on giving up on film. I jsut enjoy it and like the
way it looks. 
It really is that simple.
