Call me lazy, but having to either go into the menue or use a two-key shortcut just to create a new tab always annoyed me. I recall seeing the new tab button on the toolbar on the screenshots of one of the previous candidate releases - I guess they have removed it? I must also say that I was somewhat hoping for a more modern, sleaker interface - I quite liked the way pages looked in IE7 (especially the font, I just loved it), but, on the whole, I found IE7 Beta 2 to be way too slow compared to Firefox, not to mention all the possible security issues. FireFox RC3.0 looks fairly stable so far, but I was hoping for some interface improvements, both in terms of functionality and visuals.
