I'm old fashioned.  I use text based apps as much as possible.  I'm using
mutt and vim to compose this e-mail, for example.  They're running under
screen, which is running in an rxvt-unicode terminal under dwm.  I could
detach my screen session, exit rxvt-unicode and bounce dwm without having to
exit vim or mutt.  I also have music playing via moc in another screen
session.  Thanks to screen I could bounce my window manager without missing
a beat.  :-)
