I don't necessarily hate it, I find it nice that the applicant went out of their way to do one. I can however tell when its a very general cover letter where they send it to all the locations they apply for.

Do you reciprocate that effort by personally replying to all applicants?

funny

I like cover letters as they provide insight and detail not listed on the resume.

It depends on the cover letter. Usually it's too generic and doesn't add value.
