I don't have an RF, but I do have FF Sony. Speaking solely on the lens specs themselves, I shoot stills and have no need for a 35/superFast lens. I could see this lens being good for videos. Though I'm not sure why they didn't go f/0.7 to compete with the Zeiss planar 50mm? JK.

Fairly reasonably priced for a Canon lens.
Not sure about the appeal of f/1.4 at this focal length (vs 1.8) but I reckon I'm not the target audience.

At such a price and with those specs obviously coming next is 35mmf1.2 or even 35mmf1,0

Apparently, an RF 24 F/1.4 and an RF 50 F1.4 are already in the planning ....
Gear: Canon EOS R with 3 primes and 2 zooms, 4 EF-R adapters, Canon EOS 5 (analog), 9 Canon EF primes, a lone Canon EF zoom, 2 extenders, 2 converters, tubes; Olympus OM-D 1 Mk II & Pen F with 12 primes, 6 zooms, and 3 Metabones EF-MFT adapters ....

a 50mm f1.4 should make plenty of sense and obviously sell very well.
Canon EF 50mmf1.4 sold extremely well for decades, despite being outdated and having a failing micromotor because it had f1.4 in its name (although for me it was not usable at f1.4) and was rather affordable, just between the 50mmf1.8 and 50mmf1.2
Dunno why it took them all this time to make it....
An affordable 24f1.4 is less likely
