Ubuntu definitively made some steps into a wrong direction, but AFAIK
all *buntus require the user's password after sudo for default installs.

su -c becomes inconvenient if an option of a command needs quotation
marks, the alias isn't helpful then.
su -c "command --option "that needs quotation marks""
Sure, it's not hard to correct this line, so that it will work, but it's
not that handy as
sudo command --option "that needs quotation marks"
OTHO regarding to the amount of keystrokes
su -
command_1
command_n
is more pleasant than
sudo -i
command_1
command_n

There was a discussion about su vs sudo a while ago.
