I actually use it like VNC. Somebody rings the "help desk", while using a console app. I take over their terminal, fix the problem. Also - it allows you to see things screen doesn't - like syslog messages written to the console. And it doesn't interfere with some key sequences like screen does. In other words, it is designed to solve a different problem to the one screen addresses. A more direct competitor would be vtgrab. Unlike vtgrab this doesn't require you to run a server first.
