This feature in vim is definitely similar, but that's just one application. There are many more where making this type of functionality available would apply across the board. It would be useful in all sorts of editors, email clients, irc, etc... and not everyone uses vim. The beauty of screen is that you don't need an implementation of this type of window control in every app independently. I think it takes the idea of virtual terminals to a new level.
My take is that if it were viewed by the community as a extremely useful feature, you already would see it some of those applications. Just my $0.02. I'd use the feature if it was there, I'd just rather see other features get priority. -- Andy Harrison
