Agreed. When I hire, I want a cover letter explaining how the candidate is best fit for the position, and I want to know a bit about them on a personal side. Life experiences are a great indicator to the type of character they are, and I do value this when I review applications.
On the cover letter side, I want a fully customized cover letter. If I see too much boilerplate, I throw it in the trash. That usually just tells me you haven't put enough thought and research into the position at hand. And it's no biggie either, I'll come across a cover letter that I'm seeking. It always happens.
