I would be biased against the 4/3" here, and not for a reason you might expect.
Cameras are getting squeezed by smartphones. It gets harder and harder to justify carrying a camera kit around year by year.

At the price point, feature list, form factor, and image quality possible from a micro 4/3 camera, I would say for the majority of folk looking for general usage, it makes more sense than APS-C these days. There is still a noticeable difference in a M4/3 image versus iPhone imo, and not a huge difference to APS-C. Not so much a compact point and shoot though, so those cameras have nothing going for them other than the form factor.
If budget were not considered, if I had to have one dedicated camera and lens setup, I would go for a Leica Q2 and go enjoy life instead of talk cameras.
