Oh, no! Not the sudo vs su debate again? I thought that this was put to rest a long time ago. This debate is unresolvable. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. People tend to take sides based on their distribution and what it uses anyway. So it ends up as my distribution is better than yours which is pointless. Use what you like and what works for you and stop looking over your shoulder at the other guy. You won't find this debate raging within a distribution like Ubuntu. People are happy with sudo.
I do like being able to login as root from time to time and used su for my first four years of Linux before converting to K/Ubuntu's way. When I use Fedora and find myself adding sudo anyway. To each his own which is why we use Linux. We have choice. Enjoy freedom of choice but don't abuse it by trying to take away someone else's right to choose something different. That would not be cool as freedom becomes irrelevant.
