I also have a rebel XS, and I love it. I've taken somewhere in the neighborhood of 2800 - 3000 shots with it since Christmas. Biggest thing to think about is saving money for other lenses once you get used to shooting with the kit lens. It's very easy to spend more on one lens than you did on the body and kit lens together.

That was the only real adjustment for me. I had an SLR-like point and shoot before I got the XS (a Canon S3 IS) which had a 12x zoom (36-432mm), so going to the kit 18-55mm lens was an adjustment. I'm shopping for another lens now, just haven't made a decision and pulled the trigger yet.
