I've owned this lens nearly since it was introduced in 2004. It's one of the lenses that I'm truly grateful to have and would greatly miss. It's really one-of-a-kind, even today. If you need a light, compact lens capable of long reach you'd be very challenged to find a better lens. It asks very little in the way of compromise.
I am a bit surprised that Canon has not pursued the diffractive optics (DO) lens design beyond this lens and the 400mm prime. I imagined that DO would represent the future of much of Canon's long-lens designs.
