[development] Early Drupal 6 review from Chris Messina

It really depends on your use-case. In simple instances it may be  
possible to create an "Admin" role which you grant limited access to  
Drupal's admin features, reducing the number of choices and potential  
for confusion. However, the way in which these admin features are laid  
out will remain generic and not tailored to the intended use of the  
site.

Moreover, you usually want to give the owner of the site user #1,  
which has root-like powers to see all configuration options exposed by  
the system, which is important, but puts you back at square one in  
terms of what the administrative user-experience is all about.
