After more than 100k DSLR/mirrorless images in recent years, I usually one of my film cameras because the aesthetic experience is better for me. It's a feedback loop where film caused me to be more selective, being more selective means taking few pictures, including digital pictures, and taking fewer pictures reduces the economic efficiency gap between film and digital. Which wouldn't make as much of a difference if the aesthetic experience of film cameras weren't so different from a DSLR/mirrorless camera...again for me. And if the differences in my aesthetic experience among film cameras could not vary so widely. I recently traveled with six film cameras each of which physically makes a different type of picture because each produces a different aspect ratio...3:1, 9:4, 3:2,.4:3, 1:1 3:4 [1] Just for clarity, one of my favorite digital cameras is the Sony NEX C3 which is a tiny 16mp APSC camera...literally about the size of a point and shoot. Put a pancake lens on it like the 16-50 PZ or 16mm f2.8 and you can put a lot of camera in a small pocket when you walk the dog. However, I have three film cameras that fit in a small pocket and produce great negatives each of which was less than $100, doesn't require batteries and brings me joy to shoot...the NEX C3 really doesn't, it is only a better aesthetic experience compared to other digital cameras. --- All this with the caveat that if I was shooting weddings for, I'd make radically different choices. Digital cameras are great tools for commercial work. And they are great ways to chase the joy of making pictures. Where I wound up is that part of the normal digital workflow is sitting at the computer right after making the pictures wasn't something I enjoyed. For me, it's nice to just put the exposed film in a drawer until a development day. Nice not to be in a hurry. YMMV. Good luck. [1]: 4:3 and 3:4 because the Chiaka exposes half frame 35mm in portrait and the Pentax 645 shoots in landscape on 120.
