Digital BW, The Print

Ummm, do you consider choosing a specific B&W film type based on how 
it responds to colors more art than photography as well?  And why 
does a yellow filter generally render skies appear more "realist"?  
Is using color filters with B&W film not photography either?  In my 
digital transformation from color to B&W I rarely even go as extreme 
as a orange filter.
