True enough.  But even though I might scan my B&W negs I still get the
benefits of choosing which film to use for the result I want not to
mention the control I have in developing my film too.

IMO, it's not "extra work" at all compared to darkroom.  Personally I
disliked all the chemical mixing, set up, temperature controlling,
working in the dark and then CLEAN UP!  Ugh.  To me all those things
more than offset for all the digital "extra work".  Oh, and dust
removal was always part of my traditional darkroom experience too.
