It's never a good idea to run as root. Nothing can stop root or be hidden from it. Create a user with root privileges if you wish. That user can then be used for most system work without having to use the root account. Raspberry Pi took the step of disabling the root account because it's so risky. You can still carry out root commands using sudo, but you (or any running programs or remote users) won't be making them accidentally.
