Love doubling my time on the water windfoiling in lightwind summer months and won't be exclusive with it as I still can't resist the exhilaration of a powered session on the fin in mid to high wind! I'll go wingding once I reach 70!
No conversion to wingfoiling for me at the moment! Since I managed to stay dry and jibe on my windfoiling kite, I've been using it almost exclusively in light wind and below 15-17kn with dedicated 7.0, 6.0 and 5.0 sails. Above that, I'll be fin windsurfing on freerace gear to the point I now rarely use my 8.2 cam sail!
Windfoiling has allowed me to double time on the water during the summer months and that's nice! Most of my beach buddies at my home spot are kite and/or ex-kiters wingfoilers (yep, I'm the last windsurfer left at my spot!). Talking to my buddies, what attracts them to wingfoiling is mostly swell and waves ridding. Otherwise on flat water, they'll switch to kitefoiling or kiteboarding with large kites!
I tried wingfoiling a few times and have no desire to switch from windfoiling for now. And yes, wingfoiling kit is more convenient to transport, carry, etc., but I'm still ok to put up with the bulk of my windfoiling kit since I value the fun is on the water more than the slight inconvenience during transport! And as far as setup, I am as fast on the water putting together my windfoiling kit than any of the wingfoilers I know!
