Not predictable?
There's just one sensor in a DSLR, fixed in its place, so it seems to be much easier to "predict" it's reflectivity, compared to a film camera, with so many different possible film surfaces, with possible variation of alignment. I remeber a website (by a PDMLer, I believe) showing exactly this problem - variation of reflectivity of different types of film.
There it is:

I am quite happy with DS performance with a (non-P)TTL flash - I have been using an AF280T, and several Metz units (32 series and recently 40MZ3i). Flash compensation works as it should, the only anoying thing being the number of clicks to get to it in the menu.
