I'm a native English speaker but I've had enough education in French that I really miss the cedille, and find it distracting that it's not there. Likewise with the accents aigus on résumé. Without them, some part of my brain always reads it as resume (i.e. rə ZOOM). But in the latter case, I wouldn't actually do it, because in America at least, it seems to really call attention to itself and mark you as someone trying to signal "Oh look you heathens and plebes how European and cultured I am!" Whereas the ç, I feel like you kind of need it, and I would use it if I were the one writing façade or façadism.
