I think the cool thing about it is how it fades out on mousemove. It's less obtrusive than the usual native browser alert popup. And, having a log of messages could be useful in some implementations I suppose.
There's another plugin that's kind of unheralded that I stumbled over called "Impromptu" that is similar in what it does. Basically a configurable replacement for the native browser alert.
