One advantage to human-readable /proc that hasn't been mentioned yet:
If ps, netstat, etc., are unavailable, I can still examine things. I can even do it with nothing but shell builtins, in case /lib is destroyed too, assuming I have a root shell running somewhere. (cd /proc; for i in [1-9]* ; do cd $i ; exec <cmdline ; cat ; echo ; cd .. ; done ; exec</dev/tty, and so on)
I wouldn't call this a critical feature, but it is kinda cool...
