back in the early 90's i started off at ad agencies, doing print (ad campaigns etc), helping story board commercials, stuff like that....around 97 i got my first gig doing websites (pretty far back now that i think about it) after that i got and art director position and that was almost entirely web design...now, it seems about 70-30 web to print...
i find web has its own hassles...as in, some projects never seem to end...always something more to tweak, something more to add...print is usually a much quicker turnaround, ....however.....that being said, print has a few million headaches all it's own...ukit hit the nail on the head with that one....everything about print is unforgivable...one teensy weensy little fuckup, and wham...and THAT can weigh heavily on your mind, at...oh...3am after you've sent an ad out that is part of a national campaign with a print buy of a hundred grand or more...
i've had more than my share of sleepless nights going over every last minute detail.......but man....there is just something about seeing your work in print....opening up a magazine and seeing your latest ad...

We have designers who design, but don't code, that's where I come in. Can't be arsed designing to be honest, much prefer making a psd come to life.

I'll take web over print any day.
I don't think print will ever go away entirely, but I do think with innovations like e-paper that it will see a steady decline in the future. Also people wanting to be "green" will be another contributing factor. I work for a publishing company and we are already starting to switch some of our materials to web only.
