Quite honestly the only thing I use screen for is detaching programs to run while I am logged out.

I would rather have 10 terminal windows up if I'm simply doing multi tasking on the command line. It totally makes me feel like the guy from swordfish.

Allowing a terminal or window manager to manage terminal sessions often feels more natural.

However, screen is awesome when combined with ssh. Being able to resume an ssh session exactly where you left it is very useful.

> terminal sessions

> ssh

These are basically the same thing.
