For normal users with a sufficient amount of RAM, is there any real reason to even have a swap file or swap partition? Or why shouldn't they have one and set the swappiness to zero?

Hibernation needs a swap partition that's at least the same size as the memory.

Nvm: vivid.. already mentioned hibernation.
