I use digital mostly but still have film cameras
I liken the appeal to that of vinyl records compared to digital music formats.
I wouldn't describe film as "better" so much as "different". There is, especially with slide film, a quality to the image that is somehow different to digital.
And, as others have said, the requirement to "think" about your pictures before you take them, in my opinion, makes me a better photographer.

Ok
That makes sense to me, I can see that there may well be a different look between film and digital. Personally, I hate wading through thousands of crappy snaps when I'm post processing digital, so although I had happy snapper finger when digital first arrived, I now take my time with composition and spend time thinking before shooting so that advantage for film is gone for me.
