They produce better chess, and that is important for me. The negative side is that the players do not sleep well when they have an adjourned game, most professional players prefer not to have adjourned games. I have had a lot of adjourned games (I even had a game that was adjourned twice), and they have helped me to improve my chess. But that was before computers were strong enough to be helpful for anaylisis, maybe today a player is tempted to let a program analyze and only believe its anaylisis. I see nothing wrong in a grandmaster who has a team of analysts to help him with the adjourned games (and with her/his general preparation), as they tend to improve the quality of the game after the resumption.
