I find the argument about how much easier it is to carry a mirrorless camera around in a bag vs a DSLR very disingenuous. You could be carrying a brick around in the bag, it doesn't matter.
What matters is how it feels to shoot with and it's here the trend to go super small on the mirrorless side works against ergonomics and why sony are slowly making the A7 series bigger. They are basically the same size as a canon 6d and 100g lighter. Add in glass - worse glass in the case of the Sony - and the differences are negligible.
As was said earlier, choose the right tool for the job but a lot people taken in by mirrorless are armchair photographers spending way more time talking about their camera specs than they are shooting/sharing any photos
Eventually the two product types will merge into something new, until then choose what is right for you and spend more time shooting
Most likely dslr will be history. ?..
