I must say that this has had me wondering too, you are not a true film buff unless you go the whole hog and print in the dark room as well. The film development is largely mechanical, at this point in time the main choice is in the film you used to take the shots and then which developer you choose. The rest is mechanical. The real magic and buzz of film was in the printing where there is enormous skill required to truly master the process and then finally watching the image form before your eyes. Elation or despair! As Rob says you have your feet in both camps at the same time and not truly doing either properly.
