This is probably a stupid question, didn't know about bg and fg before. But after playing around with it, it feels pretty amazing, why even use screen/tmux when

  Screen has aaugh easier interface for multitasking, including things like stderr not bleeding out from whatever background tasks you're running. Not to mention that switching back and forth between screens is what it's designed for and thus a lot easier than switching between job numbers. Also the ability to detach your screen and its running processes from being coupled to a specific login session, which is probably the main reason I started using screen instead of multiple terminals in the first place.
