Since I am logged onto TSO on over 30 LPARs, that would be a lot of
windows for me!   Not that I have to be... I could be logged onto one
system per MAS (some sysplexes have systems without shared spool),
but if a problem comes up, it's nice to be logged on.   That doesn't include
other applications I may be logged onto (3270 ibmlink, netviews, monitors,
etc.).    It's also nice to have a trigger to jump to the exact session I want
instead of having to weed through alt+tab to figure out the correct one. 

Also... the "disconnect" issue already mentioned.  Since I just put my laptop
to sleep and take it home with me, I would lose all those sessions each 
day if I was not logged on from a session manager.  

Could I live with one? Yes.  Would I want to in a large environment?  No way.
