I don't like to reboot because I have stuff in progress. Such as an 
emacs session with lots of buffers open. I only reboot when I have to. 
(I do consider a new kernel a "have to".)

That said, I kill my web browser frequently, which reverts it to the 
same starting state each time, removing all history and cookies and 
storred who-knows-what. I suspect most people would find their browser 
tabs the hardest part about doing a reboot.
