And any other GNU/Linux distro, and any of the BSDs, and openIndiana,

Personally, I rarely ever use root privileges at all ─ I don't see what 
I would need them for in my normal day-to-day activity on my own machine 
[*] ─ but if and when I do need root privileges, then I will use the 
command line, for several reasons.

 1. It's significantly more powerful.

 2. It's significantly faster.

 3. It's more difficult to slip up while typing up a command than when
    you're using the mouse.  A mouse slip with root privileges can
    seriously damage your system.  A typo in a shell command can be
    easily corrected, and you can always test the command you're about
    to execute by typing "echo" in front of it.  Comes in very handy
    when testing scripts.


[*] In Microsoft Windows, you do regularly need "Administrator"
    privileges ─ unless your regular user account is already set up
    as an administrative account ─ because Windows was never designed
    with security in mind.  Hell, it was never even designed to be
    an actual operating system.  And now that it _is_ an operating
    system, it's still the worst one ever designed, even 20+ years
    after porting the Windows API to the NT kernel.
