I don't. We The now playing indicator is a color and I don't think we
need yet another playlist indicator icon cluttering up the interface.
If the colored (blue currently?) indicator is too subtle (which it
really should be IMO) then we can always argue about how in your face
it should be. To be honest though my opposition to this icon mostly
stems from the fact that it just sticks out like a sore thumb.  I'd be
interested in seeing how just the little triangle would look.

I do.

I don't. It doesn't provide a feature important enough to warrant
prominence in the toolbar (IMO) so it shouldn't be there by default.

I concur.
