It's kinda cool. 

I thought the most annoyingly keystroke confusing thing I'd ever do was 
when I was writing and debugging an IRC bot.  I had a screen session 
with the bot running in one session for debug output, a multi-buffer 
emacs session in another editing the bot source and the module source, 
and a BitchX session with multiple screens for the python-help channel, 
the bot's control channel and the channel the bot was interacting on.  
Talk about brain stymie trying to get around in that. 

But now I can throw multiple screen regions on top of it all?  That's 
awesome!
