Oh, indeed it is certainly praise for screen.

Maybe I didn't explain what I meant very well; When I tried screen for  
the very first time I really didn't understand how it worked or even  
what it did that I couldn't do with a tabbed terminal manager.

A simple .screenrc file that opened two windows with shell in each,  
plus a nice simple hardstatus line might have help me to understand  
how screen was useful sooner.

Maybe put a very simple example on http://www.gnu.org/software/screen/
