I keep hearing people complain about lack of greater than 200mm on this system. Yet those same people don't even have any photos using other cameras with 200mm+ lenses. I question whether a lot of these people have ever owned and used anything over 200mm, or if it is all talk.

I checked my EXIF database for the 2 years before I owned the NX1. More than 50% of my images were greater than 200mm (equiv, where applicable). I bought the NX1 system specifically due to the expected availability of the 300mm f/2.8 S at some point. So I'm not one of "these people" and I would not be surprised if there are others like me. The fact that Samsung just "stopped" (or whatever they are doing or not doing) before delivering this almost finished lens is a constant source of annoyance to me. I have my Canon long glass, both FD and EF L as a stop gap, but a dedicated NX piece of glass would still be a much better solution, and the one I expected.

Just a note: I made my second major purchase of the year this week that previously would easily have been a Samsung product. Just like the first purchase two months ago, IT WASN'T.
