It's absolutely glacial, but IPv6 adoption has been steadily rising over the last 8 or so years. Unfortunately the increase has been linear rather than exponential.
That is, according to Google's stats of clients accessing their properties. Not a perfect snapshot of worldwide Internet users, but a pretty decent one. https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html

Even a linear growth is fine. By 2030 there will be pretty much 100% adoption at this pace. There may even be a tipping point when places like India are so stretched for v4 addresses and v6 is so widespread where local sites go v6 only which triggers a much faster adoption rate on the consumer side.

This website says that the 100% will be reached by 2030, but only if you use the quadratic model:

If you use the linear model, growth is slower and the 100% will be reached by 2038.

Why not go to degree 3, which predicts we'll be back at 0% by 2028.

I mean, I don't have IPv6 at home (Verizon) and I don't have IPv6 at work (workstation or servers). It's frustrating.

Linode fully supports IPv6 and it works quite nicely.
I used to have a Hurricane Electric IPv6 tunnel but I've abandoned mine as my small rural cable provider turned IPv6 on quietly (all you have to do is have your router ask for a /48).
I think we've been trying to make IPv6 happen since 1998, and ... it's not happening.
