I think the answer to the question is mostly related to where you live, who is paying and/or if you are LTG.
If you are SYD, MEL or to a lesser extent BNE based and your company is paying for your flights, I assume you are sticking with QF as QF actually services your port and you do not care how much extra you are paying over the competition.
I agree with this opinion.
Based in SYD with clients/company funding travel and have been with QF and WP since 2005, I have no incentive to fly VA.
Jumped on the VA WP status match a few years ago and used the comp upgrades trans pac which was nice however as others have said I still feel VA aren't in the same league (although this seems to be changing) as QF.
Also with DJ not having a proper alliance aka QF/OW, I'll continue with the Red Roo domestically.
Internationally is another story (still primarily OW), I'll take CX/JL over QF every day where plausible.
