I dislike sudo as it becomes unwieldy for piped CLI commands. Because every 'verb' needs its own 'sudo', or else only some of the commands in the pipe get executed properly.

I prefer to use a special color-coded window for an actual root login. That 'root' xterm differs from my usual black-on-white xterm windows to being a white-on-black xterm.
