RE: Multiple Displays vs One Display

Now-a-days, I think most the experts recommend one screen per module/program. While not an expert,
that's what I'd recommend also :)

Tends to lead to more modular programming. Maintenance is easier as you don't have to worry about
accidentally changing another screens behavior.

Also makes it easy to call a particular screen from someplace else.

I have an opinion oriented question. I have noticed in our
shop that many programs use multiple displays within one
program. What is the prevailing wisdom of many displays in a
program versus one program/one display?
