EF-M was a few lenses away from being everything I wanted in mirrorless. If Tamron (or Sigma) ever bothered to give them a fast zoom or if Canon ever made a proper f/4 standard zoom and something like the Sony G 70-350 (or Nikon 300mm f/4 PF), I would be shooting it today. Such wasted potential.

1,000,000% agree with how close M came to being perfect.  Just a couple more things and it would have been there. But that honestly ended up being its downfall.  It was getting too good, and was too competitive with the 'budget' RF offerings.

The wildcard none of us could have foreseen was Covid, blowing up all the best laid plans just before when new M releases would have been expected.  I wouldn't be surprised if Canon had plans to keep M going longer, but that forced their hand earlier than planned. We'll probably never really know....
