I'm a recruiter. I also used to be a programmer, so perhaps I'm not entirely typical, but I actually really enjoyed this format, in general (though I agree with another commenter about how it's a bit harder to scan for salient information than ye olde LinkedIn profile).
Anyway, the reason I enjoyed this format is that I look at huge stacks of resumes on a regular basis, and most of them are completely soulless piles of keywords/buzzwords. Anything that breaks up the monotony and screams, "I am passionate about something" is going to stand out.
