Yep, my impression, too. I might be old-fashioned, but I'd prefer an optical viewfinder any time and have yet to see an EVF that would make me consider it as an replacement of an OVF, especially when it comes to resolution.
On the other hand, I see the advantages of an EVF and my impression is the best approach seems to be to mix both worlds. If you get the chance, look through the hybrid viewfinder of a X100 to get an impression of what I mean.
