I have faith in Moffat not to screw things up any more than they already are, but I may be getting soft in my old age (I've been known to say nice things about RTD in the last couple of months, now that I'm getting over my Journey's End trauma). Still, watch the backlash against him when it comes (if it hasn't come already!); this time next year, he'll be worse than RTD ever was, in the eyes of some sections of fandom. Still, I don't think he's produced a bad story for Who yet (even if they aren't all the works of Bob-Holmes-level genius some people would have you believe). If he can just keep it up for a whole season...
Having said that, I have no reason to expect him to be any more respectful of canon than RTD was; certainly, some of his remarks suggest that he won't be. Still, he has actually made use of time travel as a plot point in at least one of his stories (which is a lot rarer than it should be in a show that's supposed to be _about_ time travel), so if he does go trampling all over canon, at least we can expect his handwaving to be more elegant and plausible-sounding than we're used to. :D
