It is actually you that has the problem here, not me, because you simply can't accept the description of MY experience in using the GFX. My point, which I stand by, is that the GFX is versatile and has lots of "features" and buttons and dials (e.g., White Balance bracketing, ISO bracketing, and a multitude of ways to configure JPEgs), but using it was, FOR ME, like driving a minivan. Minivans are great to transport lots of people and cargo, but I don't think anyone who has driven a minivan has ever described it as a particularly enjoyable driving experience. Of course, your experience with minivans may be different. Perhaps you have a minivan and I hit a raw nerve.
Now, as to who is being snide and petty, you need to take a look in the mirror. You describe the X1D as a camera that was "designed to be a beautiful, semi-capable thing", implying that anyone who buys one is a shallow, superficial individual who is only concerned with the physical appearance of things. I think your biases have become completely apparent. There is a lot of anger, resentment and disdain dripping from those comments. You won't admit it here, but you know it.
