You really don't read very well, do you?
Did you get to the conclusion, or stop reading because my opinion doesn't match yours? I said that IBIS is an advantage of the Oly. Just not enough of one to balance the flaws, FOR ME.

I've told myself to stop using "equivalent" focal lengths on m43. 25mm is what it is, and what it might be similar to on some other format doesn't matter to me any more. We need to learn what to expect from our current equipment, not keep mapping it to the old. No one refers to their 50mm FF lens as "equivalent to 80mm on MF."
"just barely" is accurate, for my needs. There's so little real advantage after weighing the tradeoffs it is a tiny advantage. And not one that's real important to the way I shoot.Since I don't even own a MFT system and am trying to work out whether it should be a Panasonic Vs an Olympus body... my first thought is to straight off go and buy the OMD because your use of language sounds... well...
Advantage: OM-D, I suppose, but just barely.
Tow different subjects that you've merged together. Yes, the OM-D has some advantages, but also some problems. Is that a hard concept for you to understand?Advantage: Oly But I’m not as happy with the OM-D in some other respects.
You're reading more into the language than is there. I think maybe you're the fan boy, in spite of your claims not to own either. Would your opinion change if I wrote "I give the Oly the advantage here"?Given that IBIS doesn’t take anything away, I "have to" give the Oly the advantage here. Advantage: Oly

Yep, your response certainly does....like pure fanboyism.
