Yes, only good thing about of mirrorless cameras is they can warm up freezing underpants in the middle of the winter.

You are right, because there is no experience there.
I have the Q, it is mirrorless, and lens focuses by wire and it is boring. It is made to be cheap like all mirrorless, and as a result the experience is cheap and one could feel cheated if invested into it as a system. I have tried Olympus m4/3 camera and lenses, tried Fujis, and they all feel like cheap plastic. No experience, no feedback, no emotion. Just warm plastic pretense.
Actually best of mirrorless experience is the Leica X2 with retracting lens — that is one very good, but so sloooow camera. GR is also very fine camera, because of the retracting lens too. So I think that is the issue with mirrorless; if a company limits the tactile experience, which in mirrorless is none, and opts for retracting lenses with electronically controlled aperture, then the camera may actually feel better. Only problem is, there are only two cameras worth considering, and one them is ultra slow. The other has an odd focal length. That is why I eagerly wait for this years GRs (plural).
But, in regards to Q, I don't feel cheated because I know Pentax made no pretense that Q is a serious mirrorless answer. It isn't. It is tongue in cheek offer by Pentax, but few people get that joke. Pentax knows it is fun, I know it too, and therefore I don't look for 5-star restaurant experience when eating some fast food in urgency.
But I am not betting my entire diet on fast food, no. I leave that to mirrorless folks.
