Yup. Still the best and most fun! There ain't much you can do on a computer that you can't do with film (even just using filters on your camera).

I have one roll of infrared film in the refrigerator. All pictures except for infrared can be done digital. I might have a roll here and there that need developing, but I actually threw out an unopened 4 pack of film that had been sitting around for a few years!
Negatives and slides eventually get dust and scratches all over them, and they need a lot of cleaning up to make a decent print. They also fade. I have thousands that I'm scanning, and it's a lot of work! Digital pictures just need to be backed up somewhere.

I have about 25 years worth of slides/negatives.
And about $1000 in 1980s dollars invested in film SLR equipment, none of which is compatible with digital SLRs (thanks so much for that Canon).
I have a compact digital camera, but if I'm taking a trip, I always take the film SLR because the lenses are so much more versatile.
I bought a film/slide scanner to digitize my best film/slide photos, so I can print them relatively inexpensively. It takes a bit of work to clean up the scans, but they turn out pretty good in the end.

We use both film and digital. They both have their pluses and minuses. Film has far better color saturation at low ISO that you just can't get with a DSLR - ISO 100 is a big challenge for digital sensors. Digital has a huge convenience factor going for it. I regularly shoot with the following cameras:
1. Argus C3 Range Finder 35mm - probably close to 60 years old
2. Canon EOS N50E 35mm autofocus - circa 1985
3. Kodak 5Mp Point and Shoot - 4 years old
4. Canon 300D 6 Mp DSLR - 1 year old
Although I have a scanner, I get all my film scanned to CD during processing - for the convenience. If I need a better scan, I can always redo it myself.
It not about the equipment, its about you!

I never took as good of pictures with film as I did when I bought my first, relatively cheap 3 megapixel camera. And I used to use a rather nice Minolta film SLR. That caused me to switch to digital permanently. Today, I use a top of the line non-SLR digital (Sony DSC-R1) and it takes phenomenal pictures with little effort.

Yes. I use both film and digital. However, now I am more likely to shoot digital than film.

No. I quit using film several years ago.

Nope, I added a digital point & shoot 3 years ago and switched completely in April with a digital SLR.
