I grew up with cameras with viewfinders (film SLR's), and, like you, used to think of real cameras as having viewfinders you hold up to your eyes. I still have a DSLR (7DII), but do almost all my shooting with an M (M6II). Since getting my first M, the original, I have become more and more used to, and appreciative of, shooting with the screen. The tilting screen of the M6 (my second M) opened up whole new worlds for me. Now I much prefer shooting with the screen, and even though I have the EVF for my M6II, I only use it with long lenses. The assumption that eye-level shooting with a viewfinder is somehow the norm is just an artifact of the popularity of SLR's and rangefinders, from the 1950's through the 1990's. I have found my shooting to be much more enjoyable, and varied, now that I'm not locked in to the camera-to-the-eye perspective.
How do you deal with glare issues? I enjoy shooting from the screen and would love to leave the EVF at home, but regularly find myself in situations where the glare makes it impossible to compose an image.

I have an anti-glare screen protector, and I have set the record button to brighten the screen. Between those two things, I can always see the screen. I live in Boulder, which is one of the sunniest cities in the US (300 days of sunshine per year), but haven't had any problems. Also, sometimes just tilting the screen a bit one way or another will eliminate glare.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
