It might be idiotic to recommend something to all people without knowing their use case. I agree that for some deployments separate root and data partition is must have but not for all. I have a lot of qemu/kvm images that for simplicity only have two partitions (root and swap) or sometimes root only. About avoiding LVM... it's like avoiding SELinux to minimize potential problems - it becomes an obsession for some admins. If you have well established partition layout and don't change it for lifetime of your OS - don't go with LVM. But for dual boot installs and rapid disk layout changes LVM is very valuable.
