I disagree.  Screen is nice for *some* things.  In fact, I have used
it to great success during training sessions and figuring out certain
things while on the phone or next to each other.  However, ou cannot
code together in screen very easily IMO.  You both try to edit the
same line at the same time, people typing at the same time at
different locations without some way to track it seems like a complete
and utter disaster.
