This is a fantastic lens for the price. Since I got it it has been on my Xti(400D) most of the time. I can't comment on the quality issues, as my copy was perfect. It is fully made of plastic, but it is well built and feels robust. (I don't own any L-series lenses to compare).
The cons of these lens are that the focus motors sound quite a bit, and is not the fastest I've seen. It has no IS, but in this focal range you can live without it unless you shoot in very low light conditions. As others pointed, flare could have been controlled better.
Why 5 starts? Because it is _very_ sharp. Sharper than my 28-135IS and even the 50mm f1.8 II. And the colors are good. I've played with the Canon 17-85mm and the image quality of the Tamron is much better. If you don't want/can't spend the almost $1000 the canon 17-55 cost, I certainly recomend this.Buy Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 XR Di-II LD SP ZL Aspherical (IF) Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras!
