Ive recently got an X20. i skipped the X10 as I didn't like the lack of any information in the EVF, an issue which the X20 has very elegantly fixed.
One issue i have with the camera, which is shared by many others is the very loose 85% framing of the EVF.
I know this sounds anti intuitive seeing as how the EVF has a 4/3 ratio finder, but I'm actually finding the finder far more usable with the shooting ratio set to 3/2 format. The reason being that by doing this, the top and bottom of the frame is cropped down and brings the EVF much closer to 100%, at least in the vertical framing. Obviously, there is still more side to side, but this doesn't bother me quite so much for some reason. Also, because you're cropping the top and bottom of the sensor, you have less pixels to play with, but again, I can live with that.
Parallax is still a problem in closer framing, but I'm starting to get back into the old habit I had when shooting thread mount leicas many years ago, which was to frame the photo and then shift the camera up and slightly left to compensate.
Perhaps fuji will give us parallax correction with the evf overlays in the x30?

Oops sorry, neant OVF!

Oops, I meant optical viewfinder not electronic viewfinder. Please subsitute OVF for EVF in my last post.

As long as I can see my subject in the OVF I can always crop later to get rid of anything that falls outside the field of view of the OVF. I don't see it as a real problem.
