In an ideal world, that's what should happen: you enable stand-by → you
save energy/money → the entire world (and your pocket) thanks you :-)
In the real world most of the times one of your computer devices
experience problems when going into a hibernanting/suspending state and
if only one device has problems your whole system can be affected
(meaning, you can be forced to do a hard reset).
That said, I do like that simple electronic devices (such as TV, video
recorder, cell phones, etc...) have stand-by capabilities and I make use
of them but a computer system is a complex and delicated apparatus and I
don't like to play to the russian roulette with my data ;-)
