Developer Profile is a medium to show One's contribution and get a sense of satisfaction . I know a lot of people which use there SO Developer Profile In there CV.
To removing the developer profile feature is undermining the effort of all SO Community members   which make the  useful position of SO today . 

I am totally disappointed by this , although my contribution is less.

Job Section of SO is less cluttered and I recommend lot of my friends USE SO to use it for your JOB Application

Above two features are catalyst for contribution in SO.

Its really sad that this two features will remove from here.
