Once you get used to a WLF it's really bizarre going back to a digital camera with a articulated screen.
I got so used to the Rollei even though it was totally awkward to start with.

Haha, never really been in that situation but I can imagine this being quite a mindfuck!
In realted news lately I'm regularly switching between roadbike and shopper, which means swapping between freewheel and coaster brake. It's very confusing.

See above.
To add one more thing: in my opinion those types of cameras need more discipline / force you to slow down because of the left-right confusion. Especially levelling things and getting lines parallel to image boarders etc.
I once gave my mum my Mamiya, asking her to take a picture of me, and she got so confused and was moving around like crazy.. it made me sort-of sea-sick just looking at her, it was ridiculous!

If you get the hang of it you're rewarded though in my opinion:
with medium format waist level finder cameras I get a much clearer idea of the whole frame than even with the nicest SLRs.
