Screen and tabs are different solutions to different problems. When
working with multiple SSH sessions to different machines, and not using
ClusterSSH, I find it most convenient to have a tab for each host, with
a screen session in that tab.

I found this incredibly messy when running one screen session on the local
machine, with each terminal connected to a different host, which in turn
ran screen (like you, my profile loads or starts a screen session for SSH
logins). The main issue with nested screens being that the command
keystrokes seemed to always go to the wrong instance of screen.
