I use a mirrorless Samsung NX30. Very old technology ca. 2014, and it wasn't state of the art even new. No comparison with Pentax optical viewfinders – harsh, contrasty, low DR, and the colours are quite different from the resulting file. However, it has its advantages for manual focusing – magnification and focus peaking.

Another Samsung NX user here ... because of (cheap) availability I've used an NX5, and now an NX11, as a "digital platform" primarily for my Russian r/f lenses, and a few other odd-ball bits and pieces that were difficult/impossible to adapt to my Pentax system,

The viewfinder is "adequate" as a bare minimum compositional aid, but the camera as a whole does a good job of producing good pictures and it is very compact!

I've had opportunity to look through Canon, Nikon , Fujica and possibly other EVF cameras and not been impressed by any of them … it's just not "real"!

Doubtless, they're all capable of producing good images, and if the owners are happy who am I to knock them, but I certainly won't be buying one any time soon
