sometimes it matters, sometimes not
Now and then it's useful to know the difference. "I love you more than him" is different from "I love you more than he." Most of the time the context is enough to make the meaning clear. In writing, where we don't have the luxury of shrugs, smiles, and other gestures, it's usually best to err on the side of pedantry. Even there, however, with some audiences you'll gain precision at the cost of credibility.
