Completely agree with this. If you get rid of screen, another tool will be used, perhaps even as simple as a private copy, or nohup and tail as others suggested. My primary use of screen is to do work across home and the office. Nohup only solves one of the potential scenarios. If screen were removed, my productivity would go down. -- David N.
