The method of slip as to purl and knit last helps those who knit loose... The last stitch gets twisted unlike the method I use. You do slip with the yarn in front btw.

If it will be seamed, slipping the first stitch often leads to tension problems on the second stitch, which will be the first stitch showing beyond the seam -- and hence leading to sloppiness at the seams. So slipping is nice in some cases but should be used with thought and consideration; not to be used all the time.
