I won't say that; future is a very long road, and who knows what we will find in the long run... perhaps we will find ourselves blushed by our today's (or yesterday) firm statements. In the same way that even the silver papers have evolved during their timeline offering distinctive looks from ones to others, they always looked somewhat different to kallitypes/palladium/etc. There is about the same with digital printing, even more in this early stage. Anyway, for B&W I will stick with film and wet prints, now it looks finer for me and it adds the sense of handcrafting which I love and appreciate; digital printing simply cannot have it. I do understand that others appreciate other ways of printing by their own reasons and tastes, right, but presenting the matter as "this is the blessed path", "xxxx printing is better (dot)", etc is kinda a child attitude seen quite often everywhere.
