I use OSX and I'd much rather sleep than reboot. Lots of productivity programs will lose state - offhand the Adobe suite comes to mind, for instance. And if you have a bunch of tabs open in a web browser it takes forever for them to reload. If you use multiple desktops there's no guarantee of windows popping up on the same desktop after a reboot, even with Apple apps.

Waking the machine from sleep takes seconds; rebooting with stored state takes minutes.

Casual plug for the Pinboard tabs sets feature (https://blog.pinboard.in/2011/04/new_save_tabs_feature/) or OneTab (https://www.one-tab.com).
