Sounds very biased with a bit of sour grapes mixed in to me. The world of mechanical cameras has already faded into the sunset, and any manufacturer who is still in business realizes this. The nostalgia of the past may stick around for a bit, but to build cameras like they use to be is just not practical anymore. Digital sensors work different that film, offer a lot more options, and cameras need to be redesigned to accommodate these, which are all going to be digital in nature.
The only exception to this is for guys like me, who shoot architecture, and need movements, but Leica never produced cameras like that. Thankfully, for me, Arca Swiss has adapted well, but even their technical cameras are becoming more and more "connected." Copal no longer makes shutters, which is certainly annoying but the digital backs have built in digital shutters, so ...
Insofar as saying their newer cameras (I am assuming the S line) are just like everything else, I disagree. Although it is not the camera best suited for my work, it is a unique system that offers lots of pluses. It is larger then a 35mm, but smaller than a medium format system, and fits in the hand much better. I like the fact that Leica is not giving into the megapixel race keeping the resolution at a reasonable size. On top of that, the S and the Hassy X line are the only "smaller" format cameras that offer lenses with leaf shutters, which is pretty nice if you need them.
