One of our people uses screen extensively, managing a bunch of servers  
out of one terminal window.  Unfortunately, he's very busy getting  
ready for a quick vacation in Florida.  If you haven't gotten an  
answer by around the 16th, please ask again and I'll forward to him.

The rest of us mostly just use screen so we can watch one who knows  
what he's doing do something while we learn, or can be mentored by the  
one with knowledge while we try something.
