Oooh, good replies to this thread - we've had the 'I might switch and if I do Canon will be in big trouble' and here we've got the 'this immature technology offers little advantage to me, why does it exist?':
There's no need to move to mirrorless.
Plenty of people will find mirrorless cameras will have things that make like easier/better and, at present, plenty of people will find the EVF lag too high, the EVF resolution too low and the battery life to short. All these three will be sorted in time and may also be outweighed by the other features mirrorless allows.
You said you may be missing the point... You''re on a rumours forum so I'm assuming you're a bit of a tech or camera enthusiast that knows how to use Google i.e. you're already aware of the benefits that mirrorless can bring so....
The point you're missing is this isn't about you.
The point you're missing is that this is mainly about camera manufacturers being able to (eventually) lower costs while (eventually) offering a superior product. In the mean time the mirrorless offerings will have a mix of advantages and disadvantages that will suit some and not others.
It won't be long before the only real advantage of a DSLR is battery life - a totally valid reason for remaining with DSLR... or even SLR
I may be missing the point but still don't see the need to move to mirrorless myself
