Maybe up-to ten people on a personal level, not counting those in the camera shops
With that said, I'd say the Sony a7r II EVF (for example) is accurate enough to present an advantage in rendering TTL over OVF in most cases. ie, did I mention it would show lens flares and light source halo's?
With that said, I think EVF's are here to stay and will likely outpace OVF's in time. Whereas the current state of things seems sufficient to justify the implementations in spite of the downsides. ie, as a long time MF shooter, I can honestly say that the advent of the EVF is a godsend over its optical counterpart. To which I'd add, I've had the extensive pleasure of enduring over the years.

Given that people change mounts for various reasons, I doubt this would reveal anything outside the natural flow of product ownership, as I'm sure we've all been through ourselves. With that said, and with respect to the initial topic, I've discovered that mirrorless systems hold advantages over their DSLR's counterparts also, and so it all seems relative from what I can see.
