The solution is fairly easy - get rid of your IS lenses and back to "basics" :-) My 28-70/2.8L has just one swith that is MF/AF and I do not remember touching it ever thoughout my 2 years experience with this lens, my 70-200/2.8L is non IS - once again saving on two additional switches (no mess with IS On/Off and IS mode), just AF/MF and 1.5m/3m minimum distance focusing. Frankly, do not remember myself touching AF/MF switches at all. If I need MF, I stay in AF and just fine tune manually instantly thanks to USM nature, but IS is so tempting...:-)
