I find an M to be easier to use (or should I say very much less frustrating) than a DSLR with all the menus, buttons, and the mind of it's own. Not to mention the size difference. With a Leica, set shutter, set aperture, focus, and expose. I like to tell the camera what to do. There is no camera I like using more than my M3.
