I'm surprised by the comments here. I use 90% IPv6. For me v4 is only present for retro compatibility. The transition was hard however.

In progress?

I can't even get an IPv6 address, even if I wanted to pay an obscene amount for a business tier.

You can get on IPv6 for free with a HE tunnel https://tunnelbroker.net/

I'm fully transitioned. The first step was getting an Internet provider that featured it. I had to change providers for that. Then I had to find equipment that worked. Some of the things that have an early implementation of IPv6 don't actually work. It's like they never actually tested it. Then I had to integrate IPv6 in the way everything worked. I'm a big user of unique local adresses, which I feel isn't a really well known feature.
