I don't usually read computer blogs, and I already said I saw no use
for Byobu.  I find most blogs to be fairly banal, usually giving
advice on how to use some glitzy feature of a shiny new toy where a
tiny bit of simple modification (say changing a launcher or setting an
already-available system preference) to do exactly the same thing is
not only simpler but more elegant.  But that's just me.
