It all really depends on your reasons for leaving.
If you are leaving because you are unhappy with the conditions then I think you owe it to your self/colleagues/successor to clearly explain your reasons for leaving. This is more likely to be effective if you can do it without getting personal or unpleasant (it is also quite likely to have no effect at all, unless you are one of many with the same complaints).
