Certainly there's something to gain - isolating your user data from your
system and/or application files.  If there weren't anything to gain,
nobody would do it and it wouldn't be an issue.  To say that partitioning
is an "advanced" topic and not recommended for beginners is a supportable
position; to say that there's nothing to gain from it is simply wrong.
