The main limitation of digital is that the rate of feeback (measure volume, adjust volume) is limited to the sample rate vs. the speed of light (electricity).
That stated, a hardware compressor I really like is digital, the TCE M5000 MD2. It is a great multi band compressor from 20 years ago.
Depending on the digital compressor design, and if working with existing recorded material, look ahead solves this problem.
In real time, and to help out the converters with a stronger signal (more bits used) this is where analog is the only way to go.
If doing all compressing after the fact, a plug makes sense for ease of control, recall, and cost.
If you want to hear the compression in real time while singing, in the box is a poor choice.
Each has it's place and sound. Use each tool to maximum benefit and to fit your budget. There are no rules be creative!

Have it ever occurred to you that you have no clue what the f*** you are talking about? This speed of light thing in the first sentence is the biggest BS I have read in weeks... on gearslutz.
