Lines: 16 Both job control and window managers have their place. Window managers give you the freedom to work on multiple hosts at one time, to view one file while editing another, to save some particularly interesting screen ouput while working on a problem. Yes, job control can cover some of these issues, but not in as graceful a fashion. Conversely, I'll wager that most people with windows still put things in the background and would like the option of bringing them forward and vice versa.
