Some of these types of trades were already being done unofficially, so it's good that Valve has created an official system. People will no longer have to rely on intermediaries, honor systems, and 3rd-party websites. Scams will be less common, or at least less successful, and any victims will have more effective means of recourse.
I opted into the beta back in August, and I've used it a few times already for Team Fortress 2 trades. In general, the trading works great. The interface is simple and easy-to-use, although the organization of items (in TF2 at least) could definitely use some work. Items seem to be sorted by date acquired, which might make sense in other contexts, but for TF2 I would prefer being able to sort items by type, class, rarity, etc.
Anything that allows me to potentially unload TF2 hats (or crates!) for actual games is a great feature in my mind. If you're interested in using the new trading feature, make sure to read the trading FAQ. You can also take a look at my inventory, though at the moment only items are visible to the public.
