[insert pithy phrase here]
I knew I wasn't alone.
Love using my Leicas. Just enjoy the experience. But, I've got a selection of gear oriented toward various specific needs (macro, wildlife telephoto, rapid action sports, etc.), as well as my remaining love of film. So it goes like this.
Prefer Leica M's both digital (M9) and film (M2, M3). Hoping I could fix my M6 as that would be my main film shooter, but.... Leica get 80% of my attention
Macro and telephoto digital goes to my micro4/3 system. Especially now that I can adapt the many, many, lenses I have from other systems. I dislike the x2 crop factor though.
Macro and telephoto film goes mostly to my extensive Nikon assemblage (extensive). Also have Rollei SL35 (used to have the SL2003) and Olympus OM in 35 film. Lenses make the day.
Occasional 35 film with point and shoots (T2, XA, Rollei35, even the old Hi-matics and Olys)
And then I still feel compelled to occasionally dig out the medium and large format gear. Rolleiflex and Yashicamats. Folders. Finicky Bronica. Really like my NOS Crown Graphic (and the 6x7 back). Even have a view camera or two. Those see very little use these days.
Oh, and then the stereo cameras. The mini 16mm spy cameras. The fun-to-use box cameras. No more Polaroid! Done with that.

I use both the Leica and my DSLRs. The Leica is my every day carry for photographing street stuff, personal work, travel. Even though I barely touch my pair of 5D III, I still photograph events like weddings. I even have a Ricoh GR that was my go-to, but I never touched that thing since I picked up the M9. I feel bad, its such an awesome camera!

Lots else. Besides the M6, 7, 9, MP and Monochrom: a Ricoh GR, Contax G2, T2 & T3, Nikon 28 Ti, Pentax 67, Rolleiflex, Hasselblad SWC, Bessa 667W, Canham 810 and an old Kodak 1114. And a Leica 0 series.
Seems I mostly like to look through the lens with a view camera.

I shoot anything as long as it gets me the images I need.

And my iPhone 5C. Used mostly as a camera btw.

I use Leica, dabble in TLR-land with an Autocord, happily shoot a humble Oly Trip 35, and make slow paced images with even more humble pinhole cameras (some homemade).
