I went fully digital four years ago, and by two years ago was back to >90% film and much happier and more creative (though no more skilled) for having made the conversion back. And that is still without the additional advantages my own darkroom setup (building slowly) will offer. There is a whole world of photographic opportunities, options, and quality that digital can still not economically provide, and a level of pleasure and satisfaction in the act of creating an image that it may never offer (though it is mighty nice to have at least an idea that you have gotten the shot before it is forever gone).
I do believe there will always (these days "always" lasts about a decade or so) be a "role" for film and the vast assortment of cameras that use it so well.
Optimistically best wishes for the new year,
LJS
