I've still got my B&W and color darkroom but you could never convince 
me to go back into it.  I get much better results with both B&W and 
color inkjet prints.  I'm using Imageprint for color and Piezography 
for B&W and couldn't be happier with the quality of the prints.  I 
have a choice of hundreds of combinations of papers and inks and can 
adjust my photos infinitely in PS and LR.  The dynamic range of 
digital color converted to B&W is greater than the B&W film that I 
used to work with.  With masks and layers you can get any amount of 
gradation you want.
