In other words: You probably love screen ;-)
I've heard screen mentioned with Vim several times now, and I
just have to ask: How does this differ from simply having a
Vim window and a Terminal window (OS X)?
One of the biggest advantages of screen is that you can detach
from it and the re-attach from another machine. So I can start a
session at work, head home and connect remotely via ssh, and
reattach to the session (detaching if I forgot to do so at work)
and pick up right where I left off. Folks frequently have an IRC
session in one screen-window, a file-browser like Midnight
Commander in another, a console mail program like mutt/pine in
another, perhaps a console music-player in another, and then a
variety of shell sessions (vim, bash, etc). I usually crank it
up like folks would use an IDE, so I have one window for Vim, one
for a general bash shell, one for testing program output, and one
for my VCS (usually git).
