True, it's not that usefull, but it does look nice. It provides a nice change of pace, so that way, when you're running a terminal in X, it doesn't look exactly like the regular shell. As far as making it harder to read, I've found it quite easy. If it conflicts with your background design, just change the text color. It is also possible to turn the transparency off, if needed.
