Shy Torque has completely the right attitude - thank God we're going to have a decent bit of kit for once! Late and over budget it may be (like every other aircraft when it comes in to service) but it's just what the RAF needs from an operational point of view. Remember that we're still flogging around in jets like the Jaguar that was designed in the 1950s!
Navaleye - I haven't got a clue what you're talking about with respect to air-ground capability?? It can drop everything the RAF has and with a decent targeting pod (Litening 2 I think.)
