Advantages: Worst lens for a professional but good to start out with; cheap; easy to learn with; Disadvantages: Worst lens for a pro, frontal element rotates,
Must make this clear that it is the older version of 18-55mm before they upgraded it to fit the 450D and above. So 400D and below.
When starting out in photography; most people get entry level camera body like 400D Canon EOS, this lens comes with the body to form the basic kit lens. As far as I know, you cannot purchase this lens officially with its boxes and such, you can buy one off Ebay for a reduced price of £50 or so without its boxes.

The lens has a variable aperture, the maximum aperture is F3.5 at 18mm and F5.6 at 200mm.
