Just enable root user.

Like Ubuntu, it's disabled by default.

Easy to enable and the thought process is, anyone who knows why and how to do it is probably qualified to have it enabled.

It's to spare the casual consumer from firing up terminal and doing something stupid.

FWIW, I use iTerm, much better than the built in terminal.

Lately I've been using Brackets for my text editor.
