I came to the X-H1 from an X-T2 via a wayward trip into Olympus land.  I was attracted to it because of the IBIS and increased robustness, but on intial handling thought it was too bulky for me.  After an unhappy 3 months with an Olympus E-M1 I looked again at the Fuji X-H1 and saw it in a different light.  I've now had it for about a month.

I very quickly got used to the size and extra weight, in fact it is very comfortable to hold and balances wery well with the 18-135mm.  The larger grip in particular is excellent.  It is actually a very "neat" camera.  This may be rose coloured spectacles, but it seems to give marginally better sharpness and overall IQ than my X-T2.  For general shooting the camera seems very capable and responsive - admittedly I haven't take any real action shots yet.

The X-H1seems to give what I expect from Fuji - excellent performance and IQ without the bulk of a FF (and, in particular FF lenses).

Overall I'm extremely pleased and highly recommend it.
