Think of it as multiple desktops for your shell.  How often are you in a text 
editor, but need to peek at some other file?  Sure you can do it by 
suspending the current process, and opening a new one, but wouldn't it be 
easier to flip to another terminal and look, while keeping the first 
application running?  They are there to facilitate multitasking.
