Yes, I'm one of those.
Some say it gives performance boost (I'm not sure about it), but more
importantly it gives (partial) protection from file system damage. How
come? The partitions with most frequent writes are those
containing /var /home and /tmp. In case of power failure or system
lock-up the chances are better that a file system not taking writes at
the moment would survive the crash. Following this logic and since /usr
contains most of the programs and /bin & /sbin contain most of the
basic OS, those should reside on partitions with rare writes.
