Backup and restore is done automatically when enabled, so personal files are kept updated consistently after the initial setup.
Applications as myDSL packages can be made to install automatically.
You also have the ability to mount opt and/or home on a local disk for even more persistence.
Finally, since this is Linux you can automate just about anything else you want through a little scripting.
Running a system from ramdisk is faster than running from a drive, if you have a decent amount of ram to work with, and there are no worries about breaking the system, since a reboot can fix any damage.
I guess it depends on your point of view whether or not you want to look at it as unuseable. For many it apparently is very useable. Personally I use a pesistent home and myDSL applications, and have no problems keeping my data (except for that time when I was experimenting...but that was a stupid mistake on my part)
