I agree that using su has drawbacks.
But it also have advantages.
When you upgrade your db, you upgrade the environment variables.
Therefore using su allow you to centralised everything in one place
(user settings).
This is why, after thinking of the pros and cons, I use su,
even if I agree with you, on the fact that should not abuse :-)
