Yes, I know. I've used it and dtach both. And it's usually the case that when I need to detach and reattach is typically when I've not run screen or dtach prior. Typically when I do run them, I haven't needed them; like any thing, it needs to become a habit, and I've just not made it a habit as yet.
dtach is quite a bit simpler and smaller than screen; it doesn't, of course, do as much either.
