Beside the distance scale: How did you like manual focus by wire compared to using the mechanically coupled focus ring?

The focus ring on the RF version seems to be a bit lighter in feel compared to the EF version. Overall I like the MF in the RF lenses that I have.

I usually set the focus ring rotation to be backwards from most, as I can relate the ring movement to the distance scale in the EVF. So if the distance meter is showing that the lens focused towards infinity (right side of the scale) all I need to do is spin the focus to the left to bring it back to where I need to be. For me this works well and makes it so that I don't need to think about it much if I need to make MF adjustments quickly.
