It's also yet another thing to set up again when you reinstall your OS. I do that not infrequently as it's faster than periodically uninstalling everything from the past year, like libraries, apt packages for one time needs, ect. A full refresh gets rid of even the stickiest configs that sometimes even purge and autoremove can't get at. I've started to find that what's even better than a fully tricked out installation that's heavily customized, is an minimal installation with basic usability features you can install in 20 minutes.
