I'm a vinyl junkie.  To me the bass is richer, the tones are warmer, the
highs are crisper and  the crackling adds an almost-live-organic feel. 
The definite drawback is the size.  My apartment is too small for all my
wax.  Lately I've had to limit my new vinyl acquisitions to only the
stuff I will definitely spin (I don't have pitch control CD players). 
For listening I usually make my own compilations, put them on DAT, and
use my walkman.  They're light, hold 2 hours of custom tailored music
each and sound better than CDs.  If I had all the room I needed for my
music I'd try to get it all on vinyl and install a DAT player in my car. 
I can dream can't I?

One practical advantage of vinyl when mixing is that you can visually
predict when the record will breakdown, go into some ambience or progress
to the next section.  I guess with CDs you could just know the timing of
the tracks.  Disc Jockey.  Digital Jockey.  Who cares as long as you rip
it!
