If you can view exposure changes in the viewfinder (+ a lot more information) before taking a shot, you might wind up with more keepers. This would be especially true with moving subjects that are going in and out of shadow.
I'm still a 90% DSLR user, but I can see some advantages when playing with my mirrorless toys.

Maybe not better but I like the fact that I get a hell of lot more keepers when shooting things like birds or people in motion with an incredible autofocus. Or even better yet, in camera focus stacking. Like cars with a camera front and back or auto breaks for accident prevention. They don't make you a better driver but keeps you uninjured to take more pictures.

I know exactly how you feel. I visited my brothers family for dinner the other night. My nephew wanted to show me his new car. New to him but a used car. Dare I say, it is Ford. For the last 15 years I have bought Audi A8's. I was so glad when that ride was over and I was able to drive my car home.

The way mirrorless adherents describe them, they sound like the answer to the snapshooter's prayers.

Competence cannot be bought, it must be earned. Except for some specialist areas of interest, any name brand high end camera / lens combo will capture fine photos in the hands of a skilled operator. There was a practice in some film days seminars of sending everyone, participants and staff, out with a disposable film camera. Skilled photographers got good photos.

Competence can certainly be bought. If you are not competence they would hire someone else with competence and pay the price. You can certainly pay for a better guy behind the camera instead of paying for a better camera.

It doesn’t by itself.
But for me there are two things. First mirrorless tech speeds up dialing in the exposure, it’s trivial, and that helps me focus more on composition.
Second the camera is smaller and lighter and I carry it everywhere. That means I shoot more and shooting more combined with review and honest assessment, and critique can help us become better photographers.

I couldn’t agree with you more. This is exactly my experience.

Confidence is proportionate to the amount of new equipment.

It opens new opportunities not available with old technology.
Expand your mind.

By the way there is nothing wrong with shooting with a DSLR if that’s what you like.
Thanks for that!

Interesting that you combine the lack mirrors and beauty. "Mirror mirror on the wall..."
