It is relatively easy to hack shell.el to allow multiple shell
processes, each in its own buffer.  This largely eliminates the need
for job control, and it is an excellent way of organizing one's work.
I normally work with 2-5 shells at a time.  Does anyone else work this
way?  The only major problem I have had with shell windows is that
passwords from telnet and rlogins and su's are visible, and I finally
had to resort to implementing a command to grab and stuff without
echoing.
