I have to feel that having a *working resume* capability is "any
interesting features" enough. What you say about "simply never hear
from" is unfortunately true.

The fact that Pavel thinks giving the users what they want is a problem
certainly defines the difference between them, the populist "give them
what they want" and the elitist "let's them make do with what I think
they should have."

could have found a nicer way to say that.
