It depends both on the digital camera in question and the abilities of the photographer. A low-quality digital camera will never take fabulous pictures, but a bad photographer can make any camera - film or digital - take lousy pictures. Kay's pictures are always completely gorgeous, for example, and she uses a digital camera!

I have not used a 35 mm in years - I adore having a digital camera because I am not a patient photographer, so I can take a lot of images without having to pay for a lot of film.
