I must be a bad admin because I rarely use sudo (only to limit
some access to some commands to some users).
That would make me prepand 99% of my daily commands with sudo.
After a while, that gets annoying...
IMHO, this rule is good for users/workstations, not admins/servers.
And even on my workstation I have a dedicated root window where I do root stuff.
