I run almost exactly three things on this MBP: screen (shells), emacs, and Chrome.

- My nested screen sessions with a ton of shells doing things all over the place don't get restored on reboot - My emacs state doesn't get restored on reboot - Chrome reloads all the pages from the network instead of just serializing its entire state and restoring it on reboot

(All of the above are true on linux too.)

I've heard it's possible to persist some of the state of shell sessions across reboot using tmux + the resurrect plugin.
You might check out the latest version of iTerm2. I think it supports saving sessions (including tmux?) over a reboot.
