One always minimises attack surfaces and the possibility of fat fingered mistakes. The lower privileges that you grant yourself the better.
You'd think that Dave Cutler who, I believe, designed Windows NT coming from a Unix style background would have followed these principles but no. I discovered *nix late sadly.
