In general you should run all commands as a regular user unless prompted to authenticate with your user password. That way if you make a mistake running the command it cannot change any files that are owned by root which could possibly create a security risk.

In addition to the preceding caveat in general file manipulation and editing under root should be restricted to the command line. Using sudo with graphical apps has the potential to corrupt your environment by allowing root to take ownership of and/or change permissions on critical files that you must own. source
