I love them. The M10 is great for street photography and just as a camera to carry around because of its size. I'm beginning to wonder if Leica glass can be beat by any manufacturer. I recently got my SL and I'm still experimenting with it using the Various-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm lens, but so far this zoom does better than all of my (previous) Nikon lenses, both prime and zoom. I got started with Leica with the V-Lux with no intention at the time of making the switch from Nikon, but the images from that camera are fantastic with a 30-400mm zoom lens.
Of course Leica comes with a significant price tag.
I store my photos on external hard drives (I like Samsung T5 because they are small) and I back up to iCloud. If I need to, I can create a new catalog in Lightroom to read directly from iCloud.
Take a look at the Panasonic LX-100. Very much like the Leica D-Lux but with different firmware, and half the price. Small enough to fit in a pocket and has Leica glass.
Good morning (it's morning somewhere!).
I'm Jim Handsfield, resuming a long past passion for photography. I'm a Leica guy, currently shooting with a Leica M10, a Leica SL, and a V-Lux.

It's been said a number of times here on UHH that a mirrorless camera just can't take images equal to those taken with a DSLR. I'm wonder how that is a valid supposition. It seems to me that once the image hits the sensor, the rest is up to the electronics to process that image, and it makes no difference how it got into the camera at that point.
So how is it that having a mirror and pentaprism in a camera makes its images superior to those taken with a mirrorless camera?
Try comparing a Nikon D850 with a Leica SL.
