Is there really someone out there who will stick with Java if lambdas are added in the next twelve months, but switch to C# if they aren’t? Is there someone thinking about a new project who will choose Java if it has lambdas?
On the margin, sure. It's like asking "will we really sell more widgets if we reduce the price by 1%". If you want a specific case, look at Apache Wicket. It uses tons of anonymous inner classes to emulate lambdas and developing in it would be a much better experience with less cumbersome syntax.
