The learning curve with digital is faster and its alot easier to see what the image looks like with the setting used.
I love my little canon digital

"the learning curve with digital is faster"
good point.

my only complaint about digital stuff is that getting the pictures actually developed on paper can either be a pain, expensive, or look like crap.
quality wise, i don't see a difference...

yeah, i mean more like, do you think digital cameras eliminates the knowledge required to take good photos?

Digital is easier in a lot of cases because it is much faster.
Just as film has a lot of flexibility in terms of pushing film, contrast filters, and dodging and burning -
Digital has a lot of the same types of techniques shooting in RAW format and editing in PS or another program.
Digital is just much faster, but the same principles apply. Invariably learning traditional photography will also help you take better digital photos also.

no, but the feedback loop is immediate, so you may learn things faster

To add to what Sherman said. The cost of talking a lot of shots is obviously much less than film. That can also be a downfall, because some people will just fire off a ton of shots when one shot carefully thought out would suffice.
The nice thing about digital is the lack of grain which allows you to blow up photos much larger with less degradation. Noise is another situation though.
