In the Energy Saver System Preferences pane on some Mac models is the setting 'Restart automatically if the computer freezes.' Enabling that setting and leave 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps' enabled in the General System Preferences pane.
Combined these make for a much more pleasant experience when a crash happens, as a reboot occurs followed by everything opening up as it was, with the exception of services (web pages, and some other apps/services) that may need to be logged in again.
[crarko adds: I imagine this is one of the reasons for the addition of the auto-restore feature. Making things less painful is always a good idea, as long as it doesn't restore you to the state that caused the crash in the first place.]
