It ends up being more of a religious argument on desktop or systems with
a single administrator. I find sudo a more convenient administrative
tool. Others prefer to su to root. If you are administering a
multmachine environment with a lot of privilege delegation then sudo is
the way to go, especially if you can centralize the polices in an LDAP
directory.
