Yes screen is quite essential. But I also too quite a while until I 
started using it. I think it's because you have to learn a bit about it 
first. I was confused by the -dDrR options, and by the many key bindings. 
Didn't know then that you only need a few to work with it, and I still do 
not use most of them. Now I use screen a lot, sometimes I use screen 
inside a screen session.

[screen summary]

Now that's a nice summary! If I weren't already using it, I'd give it a 
try now.

I want to add one thing: I suggest changing the defscrollback value in 
/etc/screenrc from 100 to something much larger, I have 100000. If not, 
you can only scroll back 100 lines, which is not that much.
