Well, just to respond to two points, plus the main topic of this thread: Thanks!
 * Speed : I find IE8 to be pretty fast. Usually if it is slow, the problem later turns out to have been at the other end.
 * File upload : Have yet to experience this problem I hear so much about, and have uploaded scores of images to our wiki.
 * Hot keys : Er … Keyboard shortcuts. I’m showing my age with Hot Keys. Anyway, they work perfectly except with the new editor. So, I suspect that the problem is less a browser issue than a browser-specific issue with the interface that will be easily fixed by the techies. I have faith. :)
