Film will never die, it will fall into the Alternative process category just like Van Dyke Printing, cyanotyping, tintyping, Deguerrotypes and so on. But to use the zone system takes lots of personal trial and error as well as expense, and when it comes down to it, the best learning is your own (for no matter how much you learn from someone else, you have to experience it first hand.)
And if anything, people who learn in film "see" better in the camera i find. They are less likely to shoot 15 shots for one good one. thats is one good thing.
K, sorry for threadjacking but i had to say that since I just had a conversation about the same subject a few days ago.
