I agree that there is something special about a traditionally rendered painting, and I spent years doing my work this way. Though the world we live in today is much different from say ten years ago, and clients want jobs completed yesterday. Therefore in most cases for a commercial illustrator to survive and be competitive, he or she really needs to use digital medium. That has been my experience anyway, and many others I know as well.
