It might be usable if you colloberate with people that do not have LaTeX.
E.g., I'm just editing a conference proceedings where almost all contributors
submitted word documents (which I have converted to LaTeX then).
Now I send them the typesetted PDF files to proofread an/or give the
imprimatur. If I have comments ("please consider that statement again", "have
a look: here I have changed something" etc.), I find the PDF annotations
quite useful, because people can view these with Adobe Reader, and they do
not change the actual layout of the text.

Actually, it is quite analogous to our nifty yellow LyX notes, which have
their own right beneath change tracking, don't they?
Ideally, the LyX notes could be transformed to pdf annotations if the author
wishes that.
