WLF, traditional or LCD, is ideal for a number of things; street photography, child portraits, product photos etc., photographers have different needs and different approaches to these things. I use both kind of VFs for the GX680, depending on work and state of mind. For handheld operation, I always prefer the WLF on any MF camera. Less strain on arms and shoulders.
While I agree that a rotating back is convenient, the square format has its advantages as well. It somehow gives me a feeling of including "the whole frame", and that any rectangle is some kind of crop (which it is when one looks through the VF of many MF cameras). Having both options, electronically controlled, would be ideal.
