Here is one guy that has BOTH DC and DCC, and DC "on top of" DCC. Either DC or DCC one at a time (I have to unplug my DCC and plug in my DC). I mostly use DCC. I can use DCC and DC "on top of" DC at the SAME time however. So I can run my DCC engines and ONE DC engine, all with their own throttle.  I can see why guys who have been using DC and have large collections of DC locomotives. It's not easy to convert, especially in N scale. (I cant even figure out how to open up some of my engines). Also, when someone comes over and brings their DC engine, I can have DC so I KNOW I wont damage it.  I primarily went to DCC becuase I have reversing loops. Also, large layouts have special issues. DC may actually be better in some cases. Being able to run two engines in the same power district with seperate throttles and seperate reversing controls is NOT always an advantage.Theres a lot of choices out there. Lots of great items to explore.
