On the other hand I like the Leica M use, and I'm not at all attracted by the format 4:3 of the M8..., today there is still film, and I'll continue shooting film, maybe if I shoot more often color I'll be more attracted for the digital.

After almost 30 years of souping Tri-X and Ilford HP5 I'm burned out. I'm almost completely convinced color negs and Photoshop can master the monochrome issue. After looking at some of the responses I got the idea some thought I meant going to digital.....Not in this lifetime for sure, although negatives in a Coolscan do become digital. Something else, if I could follow you around Barcelona I'd load Tri-X for sure.
