Besides what the others have stated (which are some really great reasons), Gate One will resume your sessions if you lose/regain network connectivity, close/reopen your browser, reboot your computer, etc.

Also, there's compliance (Gate One can be configured to log everything every user does--even to a central log server), the awesome bookmark manager, and then there's the fact that it is pretty much your only option if using a Chromebook :).

Side note: Gate One also has an interesting feature in that you can kill the Gate One daemon, start it back up, and everyone's sessions will be restored. It does this by way of the dtach program. This feature is actually the groundwork for some big things coming in the future for Gate One. Features that will likely make the front page again =)
