I haven't found any reason for root access for my personal needs. My personal needs are a simple website, vbulletin, phpged, and wordpress.
I recently started a new project at a different host with a VPS as I was instructed I needed root access in order to complete some of the modifications I required.
I really didn't. The php limitations were satisfied by .httaccess. The only thing I could not get past is the resource requirements, since I'm doing ffmpeg conversions the CPU overhead is a bit much during conversoins.
Ironically my VPS company doesn't do backups to my satisfaction so I actually FTP my tarballs to dreamhost. This lead me to find a program SyncBack which allows me to backup to an FTP site and my USB drives with little hassle or overhead.
