Joe,

I'll volunteer some "find usage" stats from the code base I work on for a living:

565 ObjectUtils.toString(Object) calls.

487 String.valueOf(Object) calls.

Hopefully others can contribute their "find usage" stats. It seems to me that both behaviors are useful.

I'm preparing the first round of java.util.Objects with the single-argument static toString method return "null" for null for final review. I'll send out a few follow-up emails, including one for additional toStrings methods. I'm sympathetic to the two-argument toString method with a default.
