I agree. I am 3 years into Fuji, had Sony and mft and have Canon stuff for 15 years. In my eyes xtrans is just not worth all the trouble. Correctly processed it is not much else compared to other Sony produced APS-C sensors - plus the xtrans specials/troubles (however you want to see it).
Fuji cameras have for sure some benefits. If you like the special handling and look (colors, film simulations) then Fuji is surely an option.
I am working mostly with wide lenses and a lot with light sources in or near the image. I had to move back to the 16MP sensor from the 24MP sensor due to the purple flare pattern issue. However to be fair: depending on your photographic style you might never encounter any real issue with it.

I thought about going back to crop to save weight, but moving to slower lenses and more primes has mostly solved the problem.
It really kills me that the only crop system with decent glass is hamstrung by X-Trans. Blah. Even still, if one of the third party companies comes out with a decent 2.8 or 2.8-4 standard E mount zoom, I might jump ship. A6500 is just such a complete package. But I don't trust the 16-70 ZA.

The A7Rii will blow the X-T2 out of the water.
Admitted that I had a thought of adding an X-T2 or XT20 because of the excellent lenses I already owned, light weight for travel, and excellent JPEG color. But when I compared the IQ on review site, the X-T2 can't match the A7R2 thou

Fuji offers more knobs. Sony is slickly. What I like about Fuji is that its layout is exactly the same as classic SLR with ISO knob, speed knob, and aperture ring. Fuji layout works best when you shoot in M mode. On Sony, I got confused between the front wheel and back wheel, and turn in wrong direction all the times. (Canon 6D is the worst with single wheel)At least Fuji cameras look much better, lol. I wished Sony would have also equally cared about the appearance of their cameras.
I also like that classic dedicated knob design. In the old modern film SLR era, Minolta was the best with Maxxum7 (then Maxxum 9 and finally Maxxxum 7D digital). I owned them all. That user interface was in fact the main reason I moved to the Minolta system.
In the modern digital era, with all so many functions and features to adjust, I really appreciate the Sony's approach which offers extensive customization options: most buttons and dials can be customized. I hope Sony will take this approach further: adding a second Fn button, perhaps more C buttons, etc.. A touchscreen is also a huge step forward and I am sure Sony will bring it to the A7r line in the next upgrade.
Therefore, I don't miss the classic user interface much anymore if at all despite my old sentimental attachment to it. Even though, I have not completely finalized my choice of customized buttons and dials on the A7r ii, I don't have difficulty remembering what button does what so no need to have things printed like the Fuji's classic approach.
I admit the direction of turning dials is not always consistent in A7r ii: turning the front dial counter-clockwise increases the exposure and turning it clockwise decreases the exposure while on the back dial, the order is reversed! Sony must have had their own logic for this.
