The Return-Path munging is the most useful feature, because it allows to
RELIABLY detect and silence reinjections/loops and bouncing addresses if
someone hoses his multi-hop .procmailrc !forward at example.org. You don't
want to know how often Cornelius Krasel and I have broken our heads over
leafnode-list bounces. ezmlm just deals with it, and it makes absolutely
no difference for the user; and for example pflogsumm, the Postfix log
summarizer, can remove VERP munging from the logs.

OTOH, that it actually keeps a bounce for me and tells me which mailing
list mails I have missed is another IMPORTANT feature, because it can
tell me that someone goofed up (ISP) BEFORE I'm unsubscribed.
