Leaving security stuff aside (its covered well without me) for me its 1. issue of privacy. I have four accounts on my home comp - me, wife, kids. I've got some games my wife hates, she would kill me if kids found them (Doom and friends :-)) So only I have permissions to run them. Also it makes it easier to separate personal files. Even though our family is perfectly happy it would seem unfair if I have root permissions and free access to everyones files all the time while being hidden from others. 2. issue of habitforming. I am also admin for our family company that runs on linux. Sure in our home comp security is not an issue really due to very lousy internet connection, but I do not want to form bad habits at home that could create problems later at work where security is no.1 issue.
