I do get fed up of reading "MFT can't do this or that..."

I used the 9fps a couple of weeks back while shooting whales from a moving boat. They only surface for air a few times per hour for a brief instant, and aboard a boat bouncing up and down with salty sea spray, I could only shoot one-handed without a VF. The 9fps was imperative to getting a burst of shots in that instant.

Perhaps not your typical usage, but I find these arguments that 9fps is not useful because there is no AF after the first shot a bit misleading. It's only useless if your subject is moving towards or away from you at speed. In typical situations such as sports when using a telephoto lens and reasonable aperture, 9fps is useful for grabbing a particular action shot in an instant. I wouldn't use it tracking something moving over a period of time - the 15 shot buffer would't allow it anyway.
