I think this depends in large part what exactly you want to do with a mirrorless camera. If you're looking at an alternative to a DSLR, then that's very different to going for a body that will be adapted to take SLR lenses.
So as a self contained system, the M doesn't look attractive at the moment since it is really too little too late. If you want to stick SLR lenses on it (why?) I think here even the NEX is more attractive since there is an aperture controlling adapter available for EF lenses, and the manual focus assist of NEX at least provides added value. Even if they get AF working on the EF-NEX adapter, it'll be slow...
