This seems a good point to link to the above. It is an interview with the "Senior Manager Sales & Marketing at Fujifilm's Optical Device & Electronic Imaging products division". Unusual for many such interviews, he has no issue referencing competitors products and seems to like the 7D mk2!

 

For the mirrorless fanboys, you might like this quote:

Are any "fanboys" disputing this? This is pretty clearly Canon & Nikon's territory, no one doubts it. If you're using your camera with a 300/2.8 for paid sports work, you don't show up with a mirrorless camera, period. That doesn't negate at all the limitations of the non-mirrorless systems.

 

Also, by 'lens lineup' he means 'native lens lineup' which is totally different than the total number of lenses available for a system. I'm currently using Voigtlander M, Pentax (DA& K), M42, Nikon (F & G), Konica AR, and of course native Fuji X lenses on my mirrorless system.

 

A DSLR can't come close to allowing me the following setups:

Fuji X-E2; Voigtlander 15/4.5; Fuji 35/1.4; Fuji 60/2.4 macro

Fuji X-A1; Pentax 15/4 Limited; Pentax 40/2.8 Limited; Pentax 70/2.4 Limited

 

And as far as ergonomics go, I have a thumb grip on my Fujis and they are perfectly pleasant to use. All day. You can't disregard weight here either, because a grip can be comfy but if you're carry an extra 4 pounds it doesn't matter after an hour!
