Glen,
Don't get me wrong. I spent lots of time in a darkroom with b&w and color film. I loved darkrooms! Learned a lot about chemicals, paper, film, etc. Didn't learn much about actually photography from that experience though.
The art of taking photos is a lot different than the science of developing film and making slides and prints. Sure, there is art in burning a dodging prints. But that pales in comparison to what you can with digital photos and the right software.
Film is dead. The art happens when you are behind the camera. DSLR or film SLR doesn't change that. You aren't going to learn more or take better photos with film and you aren't going to learn more about photography or get better results in a darkroom.
