It took over because it's more convenient and because the profit margin is ridiculous compared to the costs of producing vinyl.
Unless by "better" you mean less permanent and offering a lesser range of sound than vinyl....
MP3s are cool for research and for listening to while riding a bike and things like that, but they sound like crap compared to even CDs. I will not pay for an MP3 "release," because I will not view this as an equal product. Sound is inferior; I cannot see this as a "finished product." Great for finding out about new stuff though.
