I actually like it. When searching for something in dense text, I have
found that animation brings my eyes to the found text a lot faster -
especially when moving to a completely different part of the document.
It appears to be some system-wide feature. It happens in Safari and
TextEdit too. I find it highly distracting. The blinking is a little
too much for the brain to comprehend, plus you have to wait for the
0.75 second or so it takes for the yellow round rect to fade away so
you can see the characters on either side of the found text. That
feature is fine in something like Safari where a page can be filled
with crap and you need the extra help in visually locating the found
text, but in Xcode, where all text is the same font and size and all
that, it's just a distraction that wastes a bit of time.
