Film and digital cameras are used for more or less the same purpose but they're completely different. It's like comparing a painting and a photo, they both capture images but they're so different!
With digital camera you have a higher chance of getting a better result since you can see what you're doing and there are fewwer variables to control.
Film has a different look to it completely, it's harder to manage and if you don't print the photos yourself then more often than not, photo labs don't do too great of a job D:
Neither one is better at anything than the other, they can easily achieve the same results etc. and when it comes to editing, that really boils down to how talented the person is at retouching. I mean, you can edit film photos the same way you edit digital because yuo can simply scan negatives into the computer using a fancy schmancy negative scanner.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to preference and the person. It doesn't matter what medium you use nor what camera - it's all about the artist/photographer, not the equipment!
