I'm with you in that I prefer not to use partitions when I don't need to. However, there are many reports of people suffering corrupted disks that ended up being due to their motherboard helpfully deciding that if it sees a disk with no MBR nor GPT then it should create its own at every boot. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10174&title=asrock-motherboard-destroys-linux-software-raid So, I'm not going to rail against anyone who prefer to always partition.
