Arguments over relative merits of DSLR vs P&S digicams
occupy a plurality of current traffic volume on r.p.d.

In many ways it reminds me of the film vs digital debate
of the last many years.

DSLR partisans seem like the defenders of film, because
they don't have a lot of firm evidence that their workflow
is superior, except at high ISO or some arcane usage.

I know DSLRs are selling well, but do these flame wars
indicate the beginning of the end?

Most people are better off using a P&S. If you use a DSLR and regulary
change lens, sooner or later you will need to clean the sensor (or sensor
filter) and air/brushes won't always do the job. From the standpoint of
ease of use the P&S is the camera for most people.

However, some of us like lugging heavier cameras and lens around and love to
get out the pec-pads and eclipse to clean the sensor filter from time to
time.
