Good. Whilst the XSS auditor was able to protect against quite a wide range of payloads for reflected vulns, I think it caused more harm than good. Quite often I'd have to try and argue that an issue was real because the PoC didn't work in Chrome. Often I was able to find a way you could cause the server to modify the payload such that the browser was unable to match up the input and output, and then the payload would execute - but I think the legacy of this feature is that it has caused developers to take rXSS much less seriously.
