In my experience "nice to have" is a jolly bad reason for adding things. As many things are nice to have, yet so few are useful to have. That said, I fail to see the use. Yes hplip does more specific HP stuff, but why does a regular user need a specific HP tool? As I see it the "regular" work flow is.. plug in printer, print. Anything other than that goes into the category of 'tech-savvy person wants to do things other folks don't even know are possible'. Just my 27 rupees.
