I didn't notice it until this article pointed it out. I think its usefulness is diminished by these things:
1) The color is too faint.
2) The scrollbar widget is standard. I think this is a good thing in general but as a user you expect it to behave a certain way and don't stand around looking auditing individual pixels, especially since they didn't keep the standard title bar design and size.
3) I spend most of my time using find thinking "I hate that slash doesn't start the search here. Grr." I know that ^F has been the standard on PCs for a long time, but / is definitely my preferred way.
