I think it ups the ante considerably, covering the same ground as the X10 but without the foibles.
And I trust Sony more than Fuji, after the experiences of the past year.
Others are happy with their X10s. I would NO WAY take it on a once in a lifetime trip as a main camera.
6 megapixels (in any EXR mode) is too small for me, but you might think it'll do for the wife.
And I say this although I do have an X10 and I don't have an RX100. Yet.

Some favourite pics:
I'd only consider that if Sony fixed their metering/white balance/colour which is exactly why I got rid of my Nex 5 for the X10, Sony straight from camera photo's always have a "sickly" skin tone for me. The metering and colour of the Fuji is far better, there are positives and negatives to most of the options - I waited to see the first review of the RX100 before I bought the X10 but it displayed similar image tone to my Nex which put me off.
Right now the X10 is most likely almost at the end of its life cycle. The problems are known. It's a workable 6 megapixels against 20. And every comparison I've seen, the RX100 wins. And I've seen plenty of good colours from OTHER Sony users. Fuji is good with greens but hideous with reds.
Add to that, that the X10 still does not work well with most RAW converters due to their unwillingness to work with them on processing EXR images, and the Sony almost certainly will work well with many when third party support comes out.
Given the same amount of money in my pocket, there's no way I'd buy the X10 now. Clearly your mileage varies, but he'd be well advised to take a good hard look at it.

Some favourite pics:
I put four pics in my gallery of my office assistant under fluorescent lighting, two from the X10 and two from the Sony Nex 5, the Nex came out worse for skin tone and noise under those conditions, they aren't great shots but I wasn't trying to make a masterpiece, just a test. I just never liked the output of the Nex and found it always needed a lot of work in post processing, something I don't particularly enjoy - the X10 makes much better Jpegs straight from the camera. I compared the cameras together for a few days to make sure. The RX100 has more megapixels but similar tones from what I can see that I'm just not a fan of. Personal taste and up to the individual in that regard though.
