It doesn't matter.  I don't care if it is a personal computer one has at
his home, one still should create a regular userid and use it at all times
unless he has to do "rootish" things.  Then and only then should he
log on as root.
 
It's only good sense.  Why use a userid which can destroy your whole system
with one minor error ( cd; rm -fr * ).
 
Just my 2 cents worth.
