I have my boot drive in the MacBook partitioned with 2 partitions.
IF there were a negative about partitioning (especially considering BootCamp is a partition) I'd
have expected to have heard about it as an Apple Support page warning.
Well, if there's a specific and compelling reason to have more than one partition, sure. But speaking as someone who used to create multiple partitions when setting up a drive, and then came to regret it down the road, it's not something I would recommend to a more casual user. I've also seen it create quite a bit of confusion in users with more rudimentary skills (A friend got some loser to set her up with an external hard drive and they partitioned it into 5-- she never figured out why 4 of them were there.)
