Anyone with first hand experience able to clarify the IB System? The IB Diploma Program in particular.
Ahem. Are there any critics or supporters of the IB system who care to share their views on the subject?

The curriculum, exams and textbooks were written by Ian Baccalaureate and the programme was named after him.
Basically, a student who does well in IBDP would be a jack of all trades (and master of all), and must have super time management skills. One thing I enjoyed about it was that coursework contributes to a large portion of your final grade, so if you worked hard on your coursework, the exams should not be too daunting.
I have graduated from CIS studying the IBDP, and am now studying music education at Berklee College of Music.
Ditto on the Google. I suggest start with the IB home page.
