FileVault has evolved since it was first introduced. Originally it only encrypted the user's home folder and while that it still an option, today the entire drive, apps and all are encrypted. Because of other settings involving automatic password entry, I have long had to enter a password after a give period of sleep. The only difference now is having to enter the password after rebooting. No big deal.
Given FileVault is essentially invisible and does not have a noticeable side effect on performance, and provides substantial additional security, I have to say I like it. My question now would be, "Why not turn on FileVault?"
