I owned the original X100 and used it for several years as my only camera. I tried to like it, embrace the "liberation" etc. But it did not work out and it got me to dislike the 35mm focal length. 35mm is kind of good as a universal focal length - wide enough for most needs and tele enough for basic "environmental" portraiture. But it's also "boring" in the sense that it can do most things, but does not really excel at anything. I noticed that I use it more and more as a point and shoot and my photography stagnated. Then I got into another "need more lenses" phase settling again for mostly (though not exclusively) a single lens - but this time 53mm (= fuji xf 35mm). I feel more creatively alive - the lens is more fun in the sense that it excels more, but also requires more thought into it. YMMV.
