This is quite interesting. Digital is simply a different technology for producing images, in exactly the same way that 35mm is an technological advancement over ambrotypes, and all technology in a camera now is an advancement from the first Camera Obscura.
I can't help wondering if, as the various changes were happening, people were also having the same debate about getting rid of glass plates etc. I also seem to recall discussions about the merits of autofocus and whether or not it would take over from a decent manual focus camera. What I'm getting at is that I think the discussion might be a function of time, and possibly nostalgia, rather than technology. After all the cream always rises to the top, no matter what the medium is.
