Film has just about lasted long enough to become perpetually sustained as a "difference" market niche. Newcomers to photography, far too young to remember a film-only photo world --much less a world without the Internet or even personal computers-- are being attracted to film because it's "awesome". Interpreted in practical adult terms, many see film offering different visual style opportunities in a style-dominated photo world. Some will find their creative nirvana in emulsion but most will eventually vacate the film niche for a buffet menu of good reasons. But not before donating a few thousand dollars to help sustain film.
I do still shoot 35mm and mf film but mostly for variety.
