Since when does my computer need security protection from me? I realize that MS and friends would like us to think that we need them to protect us from ourselves, but lets face it: they're wrong.
Furthermore, I use a computer to reduce the amount of work I need to do. If I have to type an extra four characters every time I want to do something, that is bad. Also, I think that sudo is less secure than having a real root account, because now every user account with a crappy password is a clear gateway to root, whereas before it is obvious that the root account must be protected at all costs.
Sudo is like a seatbelt that first strangles you, and then snaps in an accident. This is a safety feature?
