  Not always. Sometimes you want to see how they look at the actual size. How they are represented.
  The blown up way of looking at it (resized version) does not give you an accurate representation of how it will look like in the native size. Granted, this is very developer specific and what i usually do is first look at the blown up version. Then single out a few i might like followed by looking at the real sizes to determine which one to use. But regardless of that, it's great to be able to do that, i see no reason why we should lose that ability.
