I find the biggest difference is speed of taking a photo, and consistency of results. When I'm traveling it is so much quicker to reach into my shoulder bag, take a quick snap and put it back(and know I've probably gotten a good result) than it is fumbling with a phone. My wife is usually still trying to compose a shot on her phone by the time mine is back in my bag and I'm ready to keep moving. Plus, I enjoy it. Some people get satisfaction out of using a proper camera. But to really get the good output you do need to spend time in Lightroom or some other package. So enjoying that part of it is important, too. I get some people hate it. But it really is a hobby for most like anything else, and I understand most people are better with phones, but for some of us that's like driving an auto when a stick is more fun.
