I'd agree with you on that. My parents just have their digital images printed directly from the memory card. They don't make a copy on the PC (I'm trying to encourage them to do that). I'm not sure if they use DPOF or the image choosing machines in the photo processors shop.
On the digital vs film is simplet I don't think there's much in it. People enjoy doing the review process as they get to look at their pics, so even if it seems like an additional step it is actually a welcome additional step. It saves fiddling with loading film, and actually having a film loaded (happened a few times to one of my in-laws).
