But being able to hibernate can be useful when you need to do a quick shutdown to change a keyboard, PS/2 mouse, or parallel printer cable. (9 times out of 10, you can get away with changing one without shutting the system down, but it is a risk.) It is also handy if you have to change out a UPS. Putting the system in hibernation, and waking it back up tends to be a bit faster then doing a shutdown and restart, especially if you have a lot of programs running. I leave it to someone that uses it to give reasons for suspend on a workstation. I can see a couple, but I can not make a good argument for them...
