I think I'm the only one with the following opinion... 
Long before Manyshot was written for 3.5, I remember that while we were still in early days of 3.0, I said that a character who has a BAB high enough to shoot more arrows in the same round was possible to imagine both as quickly shooting arrows one after each other OR making a single shot of many arrows at once. I thought I was making a good example about how you can fantasize about heroic things, "image-wise", without changing actual rules (and so avoiding any balance question).
I was disappointed when Manyshot was done, but not because the feat itself, which works just fine. I was disillusioned by the fact that everyone needs a book to tell you the image of what you're doing, otherwise people don't feel entitled to use their fantasy (of course, the feat IS different rules-wise, and thus allows something different strategically speaking, so that was a good thing). In a way, it's the same kind of disillusion I feel when people argue about what a Ninja should be, and how no class among the hundreds written is able to capture the feeling, etc...

It's broken. Rapid Shot should be -3 instead of -2, and Manyshot propagates that problem. Furthermore, Manyshot also breaks the cardinal rule of "if you want more than one attack in a round, you have to use a full attack action."
It don't care at this point whether or not it's realistic, it's too good and violates a core game rule.

It's not broken.
The ranger IMC uses the manyshot feat as it is and its neither over or underpowered.
