I was using IE for a long, long time, but recently switched to Mozilla Firebird, which has now been renamed to *cringes* Firefox in it's latest 0.8 release.
It's got a great tab system, and lots of nice bits and pieces. It also feels more solid, and simultaneously lighter than IE to me. For me, the winning feature is the middle-click on a link to open in a new tab. It's true that there are occasionally pages that won't load in it, but they are few and far between, and I simply load up IE for that. I've had less problems with pop-ups since I switched to it, too. The tons of extensions available are a really good thing, too. You can add loads of functionality with a quick download and auto-install.
I also tried MyIE2, and while it's customisability eclipses everything else, it's missing a few key features that I really like from Firefox, such as the bookmark keywords and keyword search.
I'd be intrested to know what browser you're using, and what particular aspect of it makes it your favourite.
