I cannot think of a single time when I'm debugging an errant program when I would like to have it run as root. I can however think of many things, like debugging permission issues, resource limit issues, reading and writing files, etc where it makes a big difference to run as root. I know you can su and then su back to yourself, but that's a pain and things aren't exactly the same anymore, i.e. there is a usability problem.
