I personally don't see a *HUGE* difference in viewfinders between the major
brands of DSLR's. Not enough to clearly remember it from the time I put down
camera A and pick up camera B. Certainly not enough to have it be a
purchasing driver.
There's actually nothing wrong with camera owners using their viewfinder as
you describe. That covers probably 75% of users and the #1 reason to look
through the viewfinder is to aim the camera at the subject.

They've never seen a good viewfinder on a DSLR? (Customer in
BigBox/Camera Store: Which camera should I buy? Salesdroid: Heres a
Digital Rebel, it's made by Canon, they sell the most cameras therefor
they're the best at everything. Customer: Duh, OK) New camera owner
never takes the thing off automatic and uses the "viewfinder" to do
nothing but aim. What's to complain about?
