not just with the xpro...but since having cameras with a back lcd i have expanded how i shoot by not having to have the camera up to my eye...this simple shot is an example...not only could i see things a bit differently but the couple in the corner were not exposed to someone with a camera up his face and clearly taking their photo.

I agree, even if I like to shoot vie VF there are cases in which the LCD allows you to work in an easier way. Nice photo, by the way.

The LCD is a nice option to have.

For the Xpro1, I find myself using the LCD quite a lot. Way more than I thought I would...

Very nice images!
With my X100 I use the LCD for almost everything unless I really take time to compose or need stability at a low shutter speed. I just got an Xe-1, and use the EVF more now since I only used manual lenses and focus so far.
I think they are 2 fundamental way of capturing images, I have been thinking about that a lot. VF is more an extension of your eye, LCD an extension of your hand. With the LCD the camera more becomes a thing of it's own. A magic little box that captures moments as images. To capture those you need to swing it to different places, like trying to catch a buch with a net. This was especially true with my GRD.
Both methods are fun and interesting, and I think no one should refrain from enjoying them because it's "not professional" or "not real photography".
The flip-out screens on some cameras like the Nex or GH2 can also be handy, though surprisingly when I don't have one, I don't really miss it.
