Works flawlessly. Face it, Leica people just don't like change.

I can't understand the dislike of the M loading system. I find it flawless. I have had far more problems getting the leader attached to many SLR take up spools than I ever had with an M. Even so called auto loading cameras seem to mis-feed more often. The problems people have loading an M revolve around their own inability to follow the instructions exactly. Put the film in. Pull the leader halfway across the take up spool. Put the bottom on and start winding. I have NEVER had this fail. Only when I fooled around with the film or tried to make it MORE secure did it come loose! I say stick with what really works....
