Yes, you and certainly others on FR would think differently, but this is a very select group of people -- knowledgable and generally theologically conservative.
I was speaking of the local situation where I live, where neither of those words would apply. There are no Eastern Catholic parishes, although a number of formerly Eastern Catholic parishioners have become Orthodox at our parish.
I don't have a sense of how many former Eastern Catholics attend the local Roman parishes.

Thanks for the kind words. Ironically, in my own personal case it wasn't the theological conservatism that called me to the Byzantine Church, but I'm certainly not complaining about it.

I'm sorry that there are no eastern Catholic parishes in the area. We can learn a lot from the Orthodox, and I personally think it's a good idea for Christians to attend churches outside their tradition every now and then.
Probably almost no former Eastern Catholics -- Catholics can attend Mass/Divine Liturgy outside their Rite for any reason, but formally changing from one ritual Church to another requires approval from Rome, and both bishops involved. It's not often done except for someone who wishes to be ordained in a different ritual Church from the one in which he was baptized/chrismated.
