For me they serve different purposes. konsole is for all shells on my 
desktop machine with very fast session switching via shift left/right.

screen is better for remote machines (running in one of those konsole 
sessions) - cumbersome switching, but more flexible.

I was being a bit facetious with that one, although it's handy if you 
start emacs without picking up a screen and just need to run a command 
or two. I suppose you could alternatively background emacs and do it 
from there. Choices, choices.
