I plug my wife's First Act guitar (her first and only guitar) into my Scarlett 2i2 and put my headphones on. I have next to no latency and if I want to hear how a riff sounds with specific effects I don't need to go buy a peddle (and an amp that it can be attached to). For myself, being able to play as loud as I want, without disturbing my wife, or the kids - that's what works for me. I only play from time to time and have stupid fingers so I'm not about to invest in a bunch of analog equipment that'll sit around collecting dust, and apple juice.
IMO, it's a matter of what ever fits your lifestyle best. Live in a crumby apartment with easily annoyed neighbors and don't want to be evicted? Digital's the way to go. Recording from the 2i2 is effortless. Plug and play. Where as if you were to set up a mic in front of your amp, there's many, many variables to atone for.
I'd keep your digital stuff, and save for analog if you're interested in getting it. If not; get a cheap DAW like Mixcraft, and jam out in front of your computer.
