I think when that mantra was being written, the manufacturers weren't counting on images being inspected at the pixel level and equipment being trashed based on flaws that would never show up in a print.
For better or worse, we got what we asked for, but it came at a price. Bigger rear elements, and expensive glass intensive designs increased both the size and cost of lenses.
The Fuji glass is second to none, but it isn't cheap.

That would be the wiggly worms complaint that was mostly (entirely perhaps) a complaint with Adobe's raw conversion. It's one of those things that I heard a lot about but never saw, so I didn't worry about it.

I had one of the K5's with AF that was completely unusable. If I stopped down to f/11 it was still hit or miss as to whether I would have enough DOF to put the subject in reasonable focus. It worked well outside in broad daylight, but anything else was pretty bad.

I'm just in the process of selling my Fuji kit. Nothing wrong with the gear, but I bought a K-1 and I just can't see myself using the Fuji again.
Anyway, initially I had the same issue as you had with the viewfinder, but at some point it went away. I'm not sure what setting I adjusted.
The 35/1.4 is the lens that brought me into the Fuji world. It is a wonderful lens and was a perfect mate for the X-Pro1, which was my first Fuji body. I believe the 35/2 is nearly as good.
If the 4 way buttons seem overly recessed, the first run of the X-T1 did have an issue with that. I sent mine in for it, Fuji replaced the 4 way under warranty and it was much better.
I did find the aperture rings moved far too easily, to the point I generally just shot in aperture preferred auto. That solved many problems.
When I bought into Fuji, I was using a K5 from Pentax, and the first thing I noticed was that for the VERY FIRST TIME, I had an autofocus system that actually focused.
