Yes, it certainly can and does solve some operating system malfunctions.
It's just not something I would bother doing on a routine basis. That
would be a waste of time. I typically restart my main workstation only
when I (a) am having a system issue, and (b) have exhausted research
into the issue with no apparent solution. In those situations (which
aren't often at all - thanks Apple) I'll resort to restarting my
machine. The vast majority of the issues I (and those I support) have
experienced with OS X can be resolved without a restart. This applies to
most Unix-based systems.
