That's actually how I found out my Lenovo was doing MITM a few days before the whole Superfish debacle exploded on the net. I went on Bitbucket (I think) and noticed something seemed different, I realised it wasn't showing an EV certificate: I dug deeper and saw that the issuer was suspect.

I feel that EV certificates do have their use for high-worth targets (banks and so one). Getting one is not trivial and definitely not scalable. Maybe they are a bit overpriced, maybe the certificate industry is kind of sketchy, but that's other debates.
