Bitcoin Core currently has no functionality to create Segwit addresses (either P2SH nested ones or bech32 ones) in the GUI. Thus all addresses you get from the GUI are non-segwit and anyone who sends to those will be making non-segwit outputs. The legacy Bitcoin addresses did not have their definitions change.

I see. So how are we supposed to get people using segwit format transactions if there isn't an easy way to create them? Does any wallet support segwit transactions yet without having to resort to unfriendly command lines?

I just hope it gets added easily at GUI level AND it is clearly separated from legacy transactions for the people that want to keep using the classic format. For example I want to be able to use the classic format for long term cold storage because it's the most timetested format. I don't care to temporarily use it if needed for small LN transactions or whatever.
