Bear, not doubting the pilots, nor the plane.
I think the 'bus is as safe as any other plane, probably even more.
But I do think there will be some "discoveries" in the course of the investigations revealing a) new notions in passing through weather in that particular area of equatorial Atlantic, and b) new insights in the A330's FBW system.

BTW, remember the Lufthansa A320 tipstrike at Hamburg? In the course of that investigation it showed that most pilots were unware of a specific behavior in the roll-authority at touchdown:
The pilots could not have been aware of the specific flight system control response characteristics
during a landing with a gusty crosswind ...
BFU report page 62

I guess the AF447 final investigation report will spit out similar words..
