Yay, I ain't the only one either, I hate it as well. They claim it's faster, but god damn do I have these intermittent jerks and lags with it, sometimes it's resizing smoothly then jerk it locks up. On a bloody plain text page even! I've disabled every single add-on as well.
I mean it actually feels a lot slower to load her up as well, compared to chrome, not sure how google did it, but it feels so much more smoother and faster to use chrome than anything else, I mean creating a new tab in chrome feels so damn fast! You know I've always hated the context menu options IE has given me, and it still comes and bites me, I love Open new link in new tab option in firefox and chrome, but sometimes some hard to get to links are just a pain to go to on IE, I know you can hold down control, but I have old habbits. The overally usability of the browser is ass as well, maybe a bit of a clean up of internet options would be good, it's like a maze in there, some of the screens have dozens of lists of checkbox options, some spawn more screens, screen after screen. Favorites still suck ass totally, the other browsers, like chrome or firefox, either have it very simple and straight forward and nice layouts, or it's nice and advanced with good options but still great user experience, I don't know what to say for IE, it's just crap. I feel that the IE team this time, just focused what's on the paper, like benchmark results, how it's great at reaching a score for a test or standard, but the overall experience delivered is complete face palm. I still don't know why my passwords aren't saving or being remembered despite actually telling it to, and I can't find any options in that crap options window on how to remedy this. I think the pinning sites to start menu has some merits, and customizing the back buttons and favicons, but they sure stopped it then and there, it seems more experiemental than anything else, much like web slices, from IE8, that some how ninja vanished to the background, since they hide favorites bar by default.
