I have very recently purchased the X-T1 with the 18-55, 23 & 56mm lenses (27mm is still on the way from the U.S.). 
The camera and the lenses are great and very well made (no issues with QC noted so far, but I will check the lenses more thoroughly soon). Some minor issues though:
- AF is very quick, but can also be quirky sometimes. Face detection is great if it works, but it sometimes struggles to recognize faces. Overall, the E-M1 does a better job and I think the 6D, D800 & 5DIII do too (not sure about D610 though, many say the AF is pretty crappy on this one).
- There is an option to speed up the AF and the camera in general, which is disabled by default. Enabling it hits battery life, but I still have to figure out if it's worth it.
- The EVF is very good. However, I am wearing glasses and had some problems with sunlight entering from the side when trying to look throught the EVF. I'm hoping for a third-party eyecup to fix this.
- The buttons on the back of the camera take some getting used to, but imho they are not as bad as some reports suggest.
I am still getting used to the camera and the lenses so my opinion might evolve over time
