I have a somewhat different take on this issue, though it is positive for Fujifilm, too.
I have also used Canon DSLRs for quite some time — since my move to digital SLR cameras in about 2003. (I actually used digital cameras as early as the 1990s, but my "serious" photography was all done with film until the 2003 switch.)
I began using Fujifilm cameras a bit more than five years ago. I began with a sort of experiment — getting the XE1 and the 35mm f/1.4 lens to try it out, being pleased with the results, and soon augmenting that setup with the 14mm f/2.8 and the 55-200mm zoom. I also had access to the 60mm f/2.4 macro and the variable aperture 18-55mm lens.
Because my goal was not to replace my Canon gear but augment it, I kept my Canon equipment. For me the Fujifilm gear was targeted at my travel and street photography for the most part, where I found its small size and weight plus good image quality to be ideal. However, for my landscape photography, wildlife photography, and a few other things, the Canon solutions were still better for me, so I have used the two systems side by side — or perhaps the term might be "in concert" with one another.
Recently I did acquire the 50-140mm and 16-55mm zooms, and I used them in place of my Canon equipment for some limited landscape photography, on a backpack trip on which I wanted to reduce weight/bulk. I was pleased with the results... but they are still not as good as what I get from the Canon 5DsR from that sort of subject.
So, I'm a big fan of both systems and of using each in situations where its strengths are most evident.
