I'm using Lightroom. However, I'm probably a bad example, as I seem to have way lower standards than most... My raw files (shot with legacy glass) look gorgeous to me in Lightroom with minimal processing.
Thanks to willie_901 a few months back who alerted me to the X100's RAW converted menu. Really a wonderful intedmediate process for those of us who don't want to take the BIG harware/software move into RAW conversion-&-printing.
Select a RAW image that you have taken (on the SD card). Press the RAW button on the back of the camera. A menu pops up that allows you to make adjustments (shadow detail, exposure, higjlights, etc etc) . Make your choices, Hit the RAW button to convert it to a JPG with those setting. Save it.
Repeat as many times as you desire, tweaking the adjustments to see what effects they have. The RAW file itself is not touched, and now you have multiple slightly different JPG's precessed by Fuji software.
I use LR5 (and then PS), turning off the initial default sharpening and adding later if needed. LR seems to do everything well except for slightly fuzzy/blurry green leaves. But either I've grown accustomed to this, or LR might have improved (I get Auto downloads from CC). Below is some LR green, displaying strengths & faults.
I've always used LR for Leica files, and I find that X-Trans files have better Auto WB and need less post-processing than M9.
I briefly tried C1 and thought some/much of the supposed superiority was due to lots of default sharpening. With default sharpening turned off in both LR and C1, I didn't see a difference that bothered me.
