I posted this thread on Canon's forums in hopes to get Canon's attention that ImageBrowser EX is awful.

I have used Canon ZoomBrowser EX since version 5; I am now using the latest version on Windows 8 and I love it. I've noticed that Canon has been attempting to replace it with ImageBrowser EX which, IMO is a horribly slow peice of software.

Here's what I absolutley hate bout ImageBrowser:

I have to connect my camera to install the software? Why???
It's incredibly slow to load (It's installed on a SSD with 8GB of RAM, Lightroom is faster than this software)
It's bulky and ugly
There's no option to zoom in with ease nor is there any option to compare two or more photos side-by-side like you could in ZoomBroswer
There's no option to sync two photos at once and zoom in or pan and scroll at the same time
It's slow, did I mention that?
It's not customizable
When in near full screen mode, you cannot view the focal points
nor can you view the image information like you can in ZoomBrowser.

Please re-consider re-instating ZoomBrowser... these bullet points are very important! Thank you.

Does anyone know if Canon plans to bring back ZoomBrowser?
