>>4470482fuji is good for hobbyists imo. i might have replied to you in the last gear thread, but i think the only stuff xpro has an advantage in is street and event or documentary-type stuff. ovf is very nice in low light because it lets you see everything clearly without having to wait for evf lag. and it's very pleasant in general.
what you should keep in mind is every camera and system makes compromises. as you say, the zf makes prettier photos and has some practical advantages, but at a penalty to portability. the best way to figure out which compromises you prefer is to get your hands on everything you are remotely interested in and shoot it. until you actually see firsthand, you will always wonder if maybe that other system would have been just that little bit more satisfying.
for me, i started out on fuji years ago simply because i liked how the camera looked and saw from sample photos that it was more than capable for what i was doing. at present i've stuck with fuji for my digital system because it does what i want and i still find everyone else's cameras larger than i need, homely, or in the case of leica, lack the autofocus and flexibility which is one of the great conveniences of using digital.
de-prioritizing performance is only silly if you personally prioritize performance. unless you are shooting for money, don't concern yourself with the preferences of others, much less internet strangers. autists here will spam endlessly about performance:cost but in truth, most people here will never hit the limits of their system and most differences between modern cameras are small to negligible. for me and many others, there are a hundred setups that would meet my functional requirements, and all that remains is to choose my favorite form. money is a very powerful resource, but for me it is trumped by time. i do not care to waste my limited time on earth using forms which do not please me when a more beautiful form also does the job.
tldr just shoot
