So, if folks feel strongly one way or another could they please edit that page (or respond here) with some of the reasons why you should "never use user #1".
If you're going to say "for the same reasons as you never use root on unix" then please take the time to enumerate those reasons - I'm not sure I believe that comparison so having the list of reasons would help the discussion.
