Have anybody used a Linux desktop always with a sudoer

Question

Have anybody used a Linux desktop always with a sudoer

user? A GUI session with root user for example.
Without the need to reentering the root password everytime you need a shell with sudo access.

I know it is a bad practice but I wonder anybody does it or not.
I think, if you are sure you won't install any bad apps why you should not be always root?

We can run risky scripts with a low access user for example.
Can't we?

I think if the password is easy to reenter, then it is easy to hack too. Assuming I have disabled ssh password login (or sshd service entirely), and I have a complicated disk encryption password, is it safe to use a very easy password for root user?
