This so much. No response is only really acceptable when you sent a job application, and their only communication back to you was an automated email letting you know they received it. If you were actually in communication with someone at the company, they can at the very least give you a two-line "we've decided to move forward with other candidates" message.
I've had rejection emails from huge companies and tiny startups personally written by the hiring manager. It's not that hard.
