It's worth remembering that prime lenses tend to be optically very good. To get near the quality and sharpness you can get with the cheap 50mm you'd have to pay an awful lot more for a zoom. Even then you'd not be getting as wide an aperture.
It might look or feel like a toy to some, but it is worth the money. Just make sure that if you do get it you try it out for a while and give it time to get used to it. Having a fixed view can be off putting if you are not used to it, but you'll see the merits in the lens in the long run if you are willing to put in the effort. It's a great and very, very cheap portrait lens for those on crop bodies.
The 18-55 with IS is a great thing. Image stabilising is a fantastic technology and getting it in a bargain lens is all the better.
You might even find that you'll miss it with the longer focal lengths if you aren't used to using cameras without IS.
Monopods and beanbags are handy if you want to do walkabouts with the camera and keep it steady.
