Speaking only for myself: (a) yes, I like it and I do use it, but (b) I dislike having to wrap external CSS files in elements (it worries me because it means I end up with two copies of every CSS file, which is a maintenance challenge), so in practice I almost always use this idiom only in the header of the form. (If I ever standardized on the way I want particular controls to look, that would be a maintenance challenge, too, but so far I haven't, so I don't mind.) Also (c) I could live with it, if the feature became optional or went away for performance reasons or for compatibility with other live XForms implementations.
