Although with regard to the volume of commercial, saleable work being
done today, film might as well be dead. "A slightly different niche"
is a niche with a tiny percentage of the sales volume in media,
chemistry and processing work compared to 8 years ago.
They still make buggy whips too. I doubt anyone has any illusion that
the horse drawn buggy is still "alive" as a transportation machine,
though. :-)

If film is dead then why did Kodak make Ektar (now in 120 too)? Why
did Fuji reintroduce Velvia?
Why did a company show a new $1,600 enlarger at PMA? Why is
Voigtlander still pumping out brand new rangefinders and lenses to go
with? Not to mention their new Bessa III 6x7/6x6 rangefinder.
Film is no more dead than painting is dead. It's just found a slightly
different niche than it once had.

Never mind the fundamental truth of photography today: film is dead.
