Part of the issue to me is that a lot of raw converters don't do an awesome job converting from the Fuji, IMO. It's a relatively new sensor technology Fuji uses, and it seems like their in camera engine is actually better than what lightroom or ACR will do (I guess those are really the same as far as conversion goes anyway).Welcome to the FUJI club. I have started to use auto ISO and JPEG with my FUJI as well.
The problem you're noting is uniquely Adobe. The X-Trans sensor is a bit trickier to demosaic: Rather than the repeating four filter CFA that we find in a conventional Bayer array, the X-Trans sensor uses an alternating nine filter CFA.

Most of the major raw converters now support the X-Trans CFA (notably absent is DXo). Adobe's (ACR/LR) demosaicing algorithm fails to render the fine detail that the camera is capable of. Capture One as Sashbar noted does an excellent job as does PhotoNinja, Aperture, Iridient, SilkyPix, Raw Therapee, LightZone, DarkTable, and DCraw. Adobe in this case is odd out, but the imminent release of LR6 we are told should address and remedy this issue.

Yeah, pretty eager for LR6. I had forgotten what an expert on raw converters you are. Thanks.
