It's still a huge step up from the all-too-common "use the same password everywhere" technique.

not a huge one. Because now instead of testing just the common passwords, the cracker would just have to double the amount of work by testing their hashes.

Granted, fragmentation in this space is actually good for security, because now there are is a different hash for each password generating program.
