To add: sudo itself pre-dates Linux itself by around 11 years - sudo was
created closer to when su was created than to when the Linux kernel was
created.

sudo's config syntax is a little awkward, but it is a far superior
solution over su when it comes to security.  sudo _can_ be configured
insecurely, but that's a function of who configures it and how, not the
tool itself.  You could also make su insecure with bad configuration.
