As far as the 3D aspect is concerned - I sort-of-agree. However, again, the final result is different to your OVF image. The EVF feedback may not be 100% accurate but I think it's still closer to the final result and you're not interested in your OVF view but in the output.

I agree with you on that, that an EVF/LCD gives a much closer idea of the final 2D image. That certainly is true. But what I love about the OVF is that it helps me get where I want to be, instead of showing where I am, with its 3D character.
Another downside to EVFs in current implementations is when you want to shoot with studio lighting. The OVF shows the scene without taking note of any exposure settings, where EVFs just show darkness due to the exposure settings. This of course can be worked around with enough thought about the different lighting set ups, it can all be put in firmware. But for now, most EVF cameras have a problem there.
