I'm very happy to be all digital.  I don't have dependable, local processing
available to me.  I can now "develop" my pictures in whatever span of time I
have.  I don't have to wait for a special time and negotiate with my wife to
keep the kids at bay while I need an uninterrupted block of time.  I buy a
new hard drive once a year instead of bricks of film every other month.

I've saved all sorts of time *and* money.
