When I first started messing with digital a year ago I would have had a different opinion than I do now. I was telling people Im only ever going to use digital from now on. But now Im thinking limiting myself to only using digital is a serious handicap to skill building along with any future career as an artist. When you learn the thought process needed for a certain medium you gain a new perspective which adds new layers to your over all thought process for all other mediums. Digital for all its advantages I think hampers your learning process on top of that due to all its safety nets. You need to develop the ability to see an image come together in a controlled step by step fashion without so many options of layer management, undoes, history, image adjustment tools ect. Also you'll never be able to sell prints at the price you can sell an original traditional painting for.
