Comment 1 for bug 586546

I disagree.

There are limitations to using byobu as default, the main issue being that the scrollback doesn't work as you'd expect (you cant use a normal graphical terminal's scrollback functionality) - which is one of the reasons that people won't take it up at my workplace. It also interferes with some of the standard commands for vim (mainly for switching between tabs)

While, for those experienced, they can get around these, they are major problems for those not used to screen/byobu
