Two reasons, the first being look (fast B&W has a unique look and film produces a colour rendition that can be hard to achieve with digital, particularly in the reds) the second being I simply enjoy working with the simple, well built cameras better. There's little reasonable options in digital that can match the feel of a high-end manual focus 35mm body or the simplicity of a mechanical 35mm SLR. I get both with my F2a and FM2n.
