Never had an issue with that personally...

I actually use this one on my lappy.  The day's work is on the desktop,
and the current working file/folder is the biggest one there.

My mom also uses the enlarging icons for shortcuts to a few games she
likes.  My dad also put a huge firefox icon on his desktop because he
sometimes accidentally clicked the wrong thing when launching from the
panel.

My brother uses it to tell the difference between executable links on
his desktop, and files/folders. (the executables are always bigger)

there you go :)
