Just read that the 6D won't take EF-S lenses, so if you're upgrading from APS-C and you've got a set of EF-S glass, you'll have to swap it anyway.
Shot in their own foot from Canon.

EF-S is designed to not work on full-frame cameras. Canon introduced it to - theoretically - build smaller lenses by getting closer to the sensor, making use of the smaller mirror in APS-C cameras. Maybe they shot themselves in the foot years ago, but the wound should be healed by now. All cameras of the 5D series were a big success despite this limitation.
It is funny that the obvious non-Canon users keep complaining about this. Where is your point if you do not own EF-S lenses?
And no, I do not own any Canon camera or lens (assuming that a Canonet doesn't count) and also not any digital Nikon camera.
I am off now, getting some popcorn to keep following this thread. :-)
