I have both types of cameras. Used to shoot film for photos back in the day but found it expensive, so put the camera away.
Got a digital and my photo experience exploded. I could take pictures and see them for next to nothing once the initial investment in the computer and camera were made.
I only recently looked at getting back into film. Having inherited a couple of Leica's and being newly 'surplussed' by my former employer, I found I had time to explore film again. Alas, I'm finding things haven't changed much as it is still expensive, plus the eyes are getting older so the auto focus is much appreciated too.
I fear I may have jumped the gun on getting my M3 CLA'd too soon. :(
 
It looks as if age plays a small role here at RFF when it comes to favoring digital over film. Overall, more people are using digital cameras as compared to five years ago.

I'm 50 and I shoot more digital in terms of number, but more film for the stuff I really care about.

I'm 34, and I'd agree entirely with this. I tend to carry a digital and a film camera (usually my Bessa R and, lately, the Fuji X-E1), and although I use both cameras equally I probably shoot more on my digital camera (I often use it for snapshots of the family, etc) whereas I'm a little bit more selective what I shoot with my film camera(s).
 
I just hit 60.. For me more digital then film. Currently more like over 90% digital and the rest film. Prior years it was closer to 60/40 split.

When I shoot film it is mainly 120 b&w, some 35 and LF. Even at that, I don't go thru an analog process for final print anymore.. Scanning and digital print process the rest of the way.

I will probably keep on shooting some level w/ film cameras until film is unavailable.
