Without having used a Leica, I can't say 1st hand, but it does seem to be the tool of choice for certain niches like street. Of current cameras, it is still the smallest full frame camera, and said to be very quiet. Yes, you can get most of the way with far cheaper cameras, but if you want to go all the way, this is the only way.
Sony's full frame compact might be the start of an alternative though, but it may be some time before that happens. Until then, Leica has this niche to itself.
