Not sure if most Japanese people here (in Japan) would be able to use a radical based system! Just about everyone is popping in their kanji with the roman spellings... so a fancy kanji for DREAM (romanized as yume) would be entered as typing in y-u-m-e and then SPACE to activate the "kanji lookup". Typically the kanji we want is right there, so you can just his ENTER, but sometimes it requires a quick up-arrow or down-arrow. Not the best system, but far faster than searching by radical.
