As I said, though it's been a long while, I was actually a user of
such applications myself.  So I can tell you quite authoritatively
that in those kinds of apps, *I* absolutely prefer that the app
remember where my windows are and what's in them, no contest.  And I
would always use them alongside a slew of other apps--web browsers,
text editors, mail clients, etc... most likely on a separate desktop,
if I wasn't mobile, but necessarily on the same one if I was.

OK, so you admit that such apps do exist.  But I guess you knew that
the OP is not writing that sort of application, and know who its
intended audience is, and their work habits and preferences...
