We will give analog a ton of credit. There are so many subtle nuances and gradients in sound and color that just cannot be expressed in ones and zeros. That's fair, but digital technology has and will continue to catch up. Just look at the advancements they've made in the past four decades. We went from playing laserdiscs the size of a steering wheel on a low-res TV that weighed about as much as the engine block to being able to wirelessly stream 4K movies on a TV screen that's almost as thin as a LaserDisc. Who knows where we'll be 10 or 20 years from now.

The film vs. digital debate has a lot of merits on either side. Digital cameras can provide filmmakers with faster turnaround, more flexibility, and lower production cost, but they just don't capture light the same way as film. They work at a faster frame rate, lenses work differently on digital, and depth of field can be a real problem. Digital movies just still feel flat. Plus, with film, the development process can put a lot of character into the image. But again, digital is constantly evolving. A lot of the issues people complain about with movies shot digitally will eventually have a filter or algorithm available to fix it. If we could also one day be one click away from fixing plot holes, clunky dialogue, and the presence of Jared Leto, that'd be cool too!
The biggest problem with analog media is there's no way to permanently preserve it. Digital files don't have that problem, whereas film stock and vinyl records can take a beating over time. Even if you take the utmost care of that physical copy, the material will degrade and wear down just a little bit each time you play it. Only two records were ever produced to withstand that kind of wear and tear, and we shot them both into space back in 1977.
When it comes to vinyl records versus digital audio, the most frequent claim is that vinyl gives off a much warmer sound and that it sounds more "alive." And yes, that can be true, but there are a variety of factors at play to explain that. For one, there's the matter of what's called the noise floor, which is the low level of background noise in the recording. It's not just the tones of the room it was recorded in, but also little buzzes and distortion of every piece of equipment that signal has passed through.
