I have several associates using the latest version of MS Office that includes Outlook. None of them have complained to me regarding Outlook's usability. I sporadically use Outlook(2007) with IMAP without any problems.
In any case, Outlook has undergone several changes: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179110.aspx
The biggest problem now with Outlook, imo, is its reliance on WORD's totally broken HTML rendering engine (in both 2007 and 2010) instead of IE. The only possible reason I can think of why MS made this decision is to try to force people to use Office, but imo it was just stupid.
It still isn't a very good IMAP client, but 2007/2010 are much better than earlier versions.
Thunderbird has its problems as well (broken HTML composer, still bugs with the local store/cache code, etc), but it seems to be the best (IMAP client) so far.
