I said lens selection, but it is really not enough lens selection to convince me to switch back.

I have the original M and 22 / 11-22. Nice for certain things but not a generalist camera set. (Also adapter + 40mm.)

While waiting for something like this I got a Fuji and some nice primes.

To go back would require similar quality and selection of native mount lenses. As it stands even EF-S doesn't have the wide to normal lens set that would cover this, and EF is too big / expensive to justify given the competition.

So Canon, you seem to have the camera, how about some lenses?

Yea, as time goes on and Canon just keeps releasing these slow zooms, the lack of "enthusiast" lenses starts to become more of an issue. Canon doesn't have an equivalent EF-M lens for most of these:
