Greatly under-appreciated
Although much of what everyone says about lens glass quality and build being poor, it's only when compared to the higher brands of the Canon 'L' series. This lens, with it's image stabilizer, is a great asset to not only beginner photographers but also cinematographer's working with DSLRs. This kit lens is often looked at as a lowly lens simply because it comes with the kit, but the range of 18-55mm makes it ideal for an independent filmmaker because more often then not, their audio equipment won't be picking up too far anyway. The f-stops of 3.5-5.6 also allows for a wide range of aesthetic choices when it comes to depth of field and lighting.
If you choose to upgrade to a higher zoom range, keep this lens! It is, in my opinion, one of the few lenses with a close 1-to-1 ratio when compared with the ratio of price-to-quality.
