This way lets you change quickly which files you're accessing by just typing them in the command. Also to pre-empt another expected comment, yes I know about tail -f. Hey Nicholas,

(and besides that, screen is an essential part of any frequent terminal user's toolkit.) You should definitely check out GNU Screen.
