If you tend to distro hop or want to change fundamentals of your system, having the home partition can be a boon. You can re-install your entire system without changing the home partition, keeping all your documents/files/etc... Thats typically why people do that. Personally, I just have a network drive for that sort of stuff and keep everything important there, but it can save you time.
Yeah, I do this too! A lot more convenient for me as I have multiple computers needing the same files.
