AF and shutter lag is a real issue with CSC’s (and compact digitals in general) for me. I find that for all their benefits there is so much going on, that the focus and shutter lag is noticeably longer than even a basic DSLR.

I guess it depends on usage. I've never really had a problem with autofocus on any of the cameras I've owned, bar two. A Canon M10* which was generally terrible and forever hunted; and a Pentax ZX5 from the earlier days of film af whose af motor drowned out passing cars.
*I normally get on with most cameras, but the Canon M10 is the worst I've used. Ergonomics of a bar of soap with very flimsy build quality, on top of the AF problems.

OMD EM1 pisses on most DSLRs for focus speed, DOF and low light ability due to in camera stabilisation. I'm talking 1 second exposures on 28mm equivalent.
The only DSLR I have tried that was close was the A99 but it is like 2k and still slow to focus, unless you have modern in lens focusing glass (I didn't)

Good point. Any modern camera that you enjoy using will give you good pictures. I've had loads of cameras and as long as they're good enough technically the ones thats given me the best shots are the cameras I most enjoyed using, even if some tech specs are lesser than on other cameras.
The Fuji XE1 is the exemption though. It ticked all the boxes for me, liked the looks, the ergonomics and the images it could produce when everything worked, but I never got along with the auto focus so sold it on after a while. I missed too many good shots with it
