Well, it depends on what you get used to.
The early photographers were mostly glad whenever new technology superseded their current modes. And now, who says that the portfolio of chemicals needed to process all that stuff you "could feel" was something desirable? How many photographers depended on the mystery (not mastery) of what they were doing with chemicals? Even the masters depended on the mystery.
I don't understand the physics of digital photography completely; I use what's available. The older generation did the same when the processed film and prints.
My 2 cents, of course.

Sent from my iPadLast week I found an exposed roll of Plus X I shot in 1976 and left in a old Kodak film can. It wasn't worth the effort for me to process it, so I took it over to my favorite independently owned camera store and had them process it. I picked it up this afternoon and was shocked to see that: it wasn't fogged; it had thin but clear images that I shot with a Olympus Pen F at the J. M. Davis Gun Museum in Claremore, OK. I have no explanation why the film survived so well. It had been in temperatures as high as 120F.
