Wheather "ergonomics" are lousy or not, depends on personal preferences. Some people love it, especially now that you can customize most buttons to your own needs. CDAF AF is not as fast for action as PDAF, but it is more accurate with no front/back focus issues. Not everyone needs tele lenses like 70-200mm f4 and 200mm f2.8. EVF has it's own advantages over OVF.
All said and done, Nex is significantly smaller than a DSLR (especially with prime lenses), and in most cases, it has better IQ than average APSC DSLR.

No, when a device is very small, with no natural way to hold it, its ergonomics are not super. When you then also miss many direct and easily reachable controls, it gets even worse. When you need to select things via a screen, it does not get all that much better. ergonomics are less "personal" that you make them out to be.
I was not talking about everyone, i was talking why for me the silly small "mirrorless" Sony nex series is not an option.
I can not think of even one advantage of EVF over OVF. But besides that, the Nex 5N does not even come with an EVF.
The Sony Nex series do not have better IQ, IQ is mainly a function of the lens used. And most Sony Nex lenses are not great. Only thing it does better than my 3-4 yo 450D is high ISO.
