What Constitutes Value? | Sans Mirror — mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras | Thom Hogan
He says they have value but the manufacturers have NO idea how to communicate that. His sarcastic take on how people market them from the post linked above:

Thom Hogan said:With tongue firmly in cheek, here are my value propositions as currently practiced:
- Canon — Dink around with your DSLR lenses on a smaller body that focuses slower. At least you don't have to use manual adapters on some other camera.
- Fujifilm — Just shoot the way you would 50 years ago. Sorry about the artifacts.
- Leica — Just shoot the way you would 70 years ago. Sorry we had to raise prices.
- Nikon — DSLR focus performance, compact camera design. See, they don't match.
- Olympus — We finally figured out that small was what we did best. Sorry about the menus.
- Panasonic — Olympus seems to know what they're doing. Videographers like the GH3.
- Pentax — We haven't figured it out, but aren't these designs different?
- Samsung — Hmm, we copied Sony NEX (leaving out only the E), but that didn't seem to work.
- Sony — We can do small, too. Why does that sell better than our DSLRs?
