Ehh, on the video side they may not have the most cutting edge features in terms of frame/bit rates, because they're still very much like Nikon - more focused on stills. I'd say the XH1 is superior to any m43 cam outside of the GH5's on the video side. And its certainly competitive with every other APS-c camera on the market. It can give Canon FF a run for its money too. As a stills camera Fuji is - IMO - far better than anything m43. If you're a heavy stills/video shooter, I'd take the XT2 or XH1 over any m43 or Canon body until you hit the 1dx2 or 1dc. But even that's subjective based on your needs. And personally, as a natural light travel shooter, I hate higher ISO noise. NR has an impact on fine detail. Lots of debate over skin tones here, Fuji's are sublime in a few of their film profiles. Plus Pro Neg can be dialed to match Canon pretty well. 
I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Like most here, I'm looking for the unicorn. The perfect camera isn't there yet, and even when we do have a 4k60p, 10-bit body with IBIS, great AF, global shutter, and shoots amazing stills - there will still be warts. My definition of great will be different from you or anyone shooting narrative, because I'm very much a run-and-gun shooter that often doesn't have time to grade hundreds of clips for a 2 minute video. I like the final product to be as close as possible in cam. For me that point is much easier to reach with Fuji - despite its quirks. 
I have a love/hate relationship with Sony too, they still refuse to put two UHS-II cards in any of their bodies, even the $4500 a9. Its part of the reason I'm not buying the a7r3. The Xpro2/XT2 had them for a couple years, I can shoot to both cards without any card-writing delays. The Sony shutter sounds like a car slamming into a light pole, Fuji's is so much better, and the XH1 has dramatically improved on the XT2's already pleasing shutter with its floating mechanism. It goes on.
Panasonic gives pre release until to lots of experiences video producers and it shows in pieces like Neuman's robot film. Fuji gave the XH1 to a few, they put together more release videos highlighting the video side of the XH1. They're definitely moving in the right direction. Adding 20 more pages to this thread is just shouting in a vacuum IMO - hit Fujiguys up on social, comment on their videos, comment to the Fuji honks that get test units to pass the word to Fuji, or even Fujirumors with your list of fixes. 
I do want to continue hammering Fuji to improve the video shooting experience, because they can make a lot of progress with FW updates. The last sentence quoted is accurate, Fuji has cultivated a user group that's very vocal about things like the exposure comp dial, and not about zebras. Just look at comments about a forward facing LCD, its all about the narcissistic selfie generation, not about its usefulness. Same goes for touchscreens, video, AF shooting video, and so on. Pick your poison...

I read the Andrew Smallman post and can not disagree more. I don’t understand why that perspective is relevant in a thread about Fujifilm cameras. If one doesn’t like these ergonomics there is almost literally every other manufacturer on the market. 
 Camera ergonomics are a subjective thing. Different people work best with different types of tools. 
The XH1 certainly pushes the envelope in that it is a fantastic photo camera firstly but also a fantastic video camera. The A7riii might be better but it’s in a different price class. Especially when factoring in lenses. 
The GH5 isn’t nearly as good a stills camera and the A6500 isn’t even close for lots of reasons. 
Olympus comes closest but again, not as good a photo camera in my mind.
