I use a point and shoot almost exclusively. It has a sharp lens, a viewfinder and other ergonomics I like, manual controls, and raw, which is all I really ask of it, in no particular order. There's definitely tons of shitty ones that lack all of those, but there's many good ones that have them.
The silent shutter is a big help for the main thing I shoot (people, up close) and that's the main reason I use it.
Since full frame DSLRs beat the quality of medium format film (I haven't seen any comparisons between APS-C and 120, but the difference can't be much either way), Full frame and APS-C DSLRs are the new 120 (67 and 645, I guess), and small sensor cameras are the new 135: smaller sensor, markedly grainier/noisier at high sensitivies, but still with their own uses. Alex Majoli, for instance, uses point and shoots quite a lot.
