I hear a lot say GNU Screen is better than Terminal's tabs. But I cannot find a real use case. I can understand that ability to copy and paste is useful.
But in terms of session attaching/detaching, all the sessions are gone if I restart my Mac. I'm using Terminal with several tabs open (e.g., tail -f development.log, script/console, irb...) I can use Command-Shift-] to move between tabs, but in GNU Screen, I need to type Control-A n. To me, the latter is more memorable and Mac-like. I mostly develop locally and push the app to the server. I never felt the need to sharing the session in GNU Screen. I think I'm wrong in somewhere because a lot of people prefer GNU Screen. Can anybody explain the usefulness and what's wrong in my view?
