It doesn't run the "login" program, so it's not a login in that sense.
It has the same effect, and one can grandly screw things up as root.
I rarely log in as root, perhaps a few times a year for some
maintenance. Normally, I use "su -". Occasionally I use "sudo".
Neither of those do I more than a few times a week.
The less priviledge I have, the better I like it.
I don't much use GUI, I use command line in an xterm window.
