It's a much better indicator for a quick glance than numbers IMHO.
So what if it changes color? I think it is much more useful to know exactly how much time is left without having to guess. I would rather see that there are 18 seconds left than have to process the fact that the progress bar is flashing yellow, meaning that there are no more than 20 seconds left, then try to make an estimation of what percentage of the bar is filled. Pretty, but useless. I'll take a plain old countdown clock any day.
