It will probably surprise you to know I have used and owned all the bodies you mention (and probably over a hundred more); In case you missed it, my point was about ergonomics and about re-convergence on a minimalist interface, which the cameras you mention also have.
My mention of the dream come true is simply this: in film days, you were locked in to one ISO. The Auto 6400 setting literally takes you from max. intensity outside in the midday sun, all the way to semi-darkness. No one was ever able to do that in film days, and we all wanted it. Few other contemporary cameras allow the setting of shutter speed on a dial, aperture on a ring (which most people are holding, automatically) and this is ergonomically sound, just as it was on the film cameras you mention. It has nothing to do with nostalgia; everything to do with stability and efficiency.
... the JPEGs are excellent, and the ergonomics make it a pleasure to use.

The fact that the camera firmware processed jpegs are so good is proof that a good demosaicing algorithm exists. Why Fuji can't relay that info to the software companies, I don't know.
+1, I am increasingly interested in the X-E1 and look forward to the day I can compare it to my NEX-7 and NEX-6 with manual lenses. My all time favorite camera was the Fuji 645 Wide. Hopefully, this thread can be a reference to the usability of this camera as it is intended.
