It's an additional layer of security. Do you drive with a seat belt on? 

These days I try and leave it on... and for most standard setups, it
shouldn't get in your way too much. There's lots of tools around it now
to report why it's doing something or how to fix it. 

See for example: 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html-single/Security-Enhanced_Linux/index.html

I find that it's a good layer to leave enabled these days, YMMV.
