The final arbiter in the case of the Hasselblad X1D and the Fujifilm GFX 50S will not be Eric or me or anyone else on this forum. It will be the public acceptance of the cameras. We will see how many cameras are sold by each manufacturer, not only pre-orders already received by Hasselblad, but the long term acceptance of both cameras we will see in a year or two. If Fuji sells substantially more cameras than Hasselblad by then, I will be happy to say I was wrong, even though in my opinion, the GFX will still be a clunky frankencamera. But, if it is a better tool, I can live with that.
What I would really rather see here is an acceptance of each other's point of view and appreciation of it. My father-in-law thought that if you didn't like what he liked, there was something wrong with you. I once told him, "They make ice cream in vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry; heck, Baskin Robbins makes 31 different flavors." I kind of saw a light bulb go on over his head. Thankfully he was smart enough to understand what I was trying to communicate to him. How nice would it be to have 31 MFD mirrorless cameras from which to choose. If you like the Fuji, so be it. Just because I like the Hasselblad doesn't make me any less of a person or photographer than anyone else. And, after time passes, I may even change my mind. I left Lula long ago because of the poisonous rhetoric found there. If I have to leave this forum, I guess I will have to simply search the internet for information and education.
