do YOU have Resume enabled or disabled?

I'm very happy with Resume. The few programs that I don't want to resume (usually stuff like Preview or temporarily used apps, like TextEdit, etc), I can just hit Option-Command Q to quit and discard all the windows that went with the app.
I love having all my Spaces just repopulate with everything I was doing on those rare times I need to reboot. I can be back up and running much quicker this way.

Enabled. I love that function. Especially the fact that I'm now free to close apps with unsaved documents and have them waiting for me whenever I return to the app. Or generally that I don't have to worry about losing an application's state when it crashes or I just temporarily want to get the app out of the way possibly while being RAM constrained or the system has to be restarted, or, or, or....To me, that's how it always should have worked.
it has nothing to do with shuting down, Resume saves the state of the app when you quit it and then when u reopen it resumes from where u stopped.
When you have Resume disabled, by hitting Cmd+Opt+Q you get "Quit and keep windows" instead of "Quit and discard windows" which is what you get when enabled.
I find it better this way (disabled) because I don't use it much, so I don't have to opt+cmd+q every time. However, I think it is a great feature when needed.
I also love Versions and auto save. It is way better implemented that in Windows or other app I have used before.

I have it enabled. No idea how it's affecting my computer because I haven't turned it off, but everything is nice and quick so far, aside from a couple of annoying bugs. Hopefully when other apps like MS Office start to integrate it into their programs it can work even better then it does now.
Yea, I have it turned off on my computer, my female keeper keeps it turned on on her air. Really my only gripes with lion these days are some intermittent wifi issues, intermittent air disk issues, and the safari memory leak being a pain in the arse.
Oh, and finder doesn't automatically launch at start up for me... kind of weird. It delays other apps starting, even when I have the box ticked to reopen closed apps.
That said, WAY better than DP1 and 2, even with updates.

How can one disable this for good? Shutting down still brings up that dialog with the checked box.

It's one of them things I always hated when apps did this in the past
When I close a document I am usually finished with it, dont need them reopening as default

It's reasonable to suspect this is a bug. Hoping the next release remembers the state of the checkbox so you don't have to keep toggling it.
For me it's not so much that I always intend to go back to the same apps on reboot, but that I don't just want to have the computer forget about documents or apps that are still open and arranged in a certain way. I'll close any documents or apps once I'm done with them, but as long as I haven't done that, I'm thankful if the computer keeps them open, regardless of whether there was a need to reboot in the meantime. In fact, I wouldn't even ever reboot if my computer didn't force me to do so from time to time. But as long as there's a need to reboot, not noticing that the computer just rebooted is the next best thing.
Unfortunately, the whole Resume implementation is still a bit buggy and of course not supported yet by a lot of apps. It's quite annoying that many(all?) apps will open a window after a restart even if one wasn't open before, just because the app was running.

I do appreciate what it is trying to do but it is often kind of confusing when I am trying to open just one file (instead of choosing to open an application) and all these other windows pop up.
I also notice that when I have resume checked after reboot some of my older programs become unstable.
It is a shame because otherwise it would be a nice feature. Kind of wish Apple would just embrace hibernating (not the same I realize) but it seems more forgiving of application compatibility. Kind of weird to need a 3rd party app for something so useful and basic.

Currently enabled. I wish you could turn it off per app (not sure whether you can or not), as I don't need that functionality in a browser. It's useful, though, for things like TextEdit.
