With high speed sports or nature photography, when the subject is moving towards or away from you a mirrorless camera focuses continuously. A DSLR stops focusing as soon as the mirror begins its trip. Not a big deal in a static setting, but if you're behind the goal that fraction of a second between the time when the focusing stops and the image is captured is the difference between a sharp image and a slightly soft one. The keeper rate in these cases goes WAY up.
If that's what one needs.....

Mirrorless cameras are a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. Images captured from behind a mirror are cold, heartless and uncaring.
You're describing ME!! And I don't feel even a Little bit bad about it!

When you change to shooting a mirrorless camera, you already know you're a better photographer.
First and foremost, equipment doesn’t make anyone a better photographer. If there is one lesson I’ve learned in this forum, that’s it.

You do know his comment was tongue-in-cheek, correct?

Makes one wonder how come there were so many award winning fantastic sports pictures made before mirrorless.
Maybe photographers had to be skillful, masters of their art.
Not so much required today with technology taking the place of human ability.
One day maybe the photographer will just need a finger to push the button...
Thinking of driverless cars

The progress is in the sensor, nowhere else.
The IQ of sensors hasn't really improved in the past 10-12 years. Backlit sensors and hybrid sensors that use phase detection for autofocus are tweaks that were added when DSLRs still ruled the roost, but you'd be hard pressed to see a difference in IQ between a 10 year old Nikon D810 and their latest and greatest cameras. What does make a difference is features, speed, much better autofocus, weight, viable electronic shutters with limited rolling shutter effects, better lenses etc. You have to go mirrorless to appreciate those things.
But I'll say this. If your 10 year old camera meets your needs, don't waste money upgrading.

I'm a pro landscape photographer with over 4 decades of experience and I always shoot from a tripod using my viewfinder not the LCD. The biggest advantage for me shooting with a mirrorless camera is being able to magnify any area for critical focus plus I can check my exposure on a live histogram before I press the shutter.

It is interesting to hear this. Even at 74 years of age and increasing eyeglass problems, I have none of the problems you have mentioned with my mirrorless camera. I can see why you have your point of view, but I wonder why I don't have the same problems.

Mighty short sighted view, or just limited requirements in your shooting habits.

Almost all of those things could go into a DSLR except for the non-mirror, which reduces the weight.
So, in my opinion the advantages of the mirrorless are (1) no mirror slap; (2) smaller and lighter. Not sure 30+ frame rate is an advantage but someone would probably consider it so.
In keeping with the title of this thread, I am expressing my opinion.
