I use scripts to store and restore my sessions.

unimportant, but some folks perhaps want that some apps open on another

this, but IMO session managers can't provide what a user's script could
provide. For example, jackd settings are very important, assumed you use
an app as Qtractor. Qtractor does move audio recordings as good as it
can (not really perfect) depending to the jackd latency, assumed you
should change the latency, then your audio tracks and MIDI tracks would
be out of sync.
Which, if true, would only mean that Qtractor does its latency
compensation the wrong way. Note the 'if true'.
For the versions of Qtractor I used it is true. An issue for me, because
I like to be able to use different latencies, at different work stages.
I'm aware that Ardour's latency compensation is smarter. But IMO it's
important, that Linux users who prefer session managers, at least get
informed about such issues, what ever applications they use.
