I think what really won my heart, and did so quite quickly, is that tmux
has a status bar configured by default. I'm pretty sure you can do that
with screen, too, but I've never bothered, because it seemed too much
effort to learn and it just seemed flashy and pointless. I realised how
mistaken I was within a couple of hours of using tmux. It has
absolutely changed the way I use terminal multiplexers, and so I spent
several hours the next day configuring mine and getting the colours and
stuff perfect.
I have not used tmux but I agree completely, I hate to use screen
without the status bar. I'm using one I copied from here or the forums
or the gentoo wiki or someplace out there in WWW land. (Thanks to the
person who made it, whoever you are)
Add this to your .screenrc:
caption always "%{= kw}%-w%{= BW}%n %t%{-}%+w %-= @%H - %LD %d %LM - %c"
Also, amongst other things,>=tmux-1.3 has mouse support.
You can scroll using your mouse in copy mode and use your mouse to select
one of the splitted panes of your active window. You can also break/join
panes in and out the active window and it has awesome predefined layouts.
I'll add that tmux has a readable and even understandable man page
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^
I'm sold. 4 words, that's all it took.
That makes me want to try it too. Most man pages are like Greek to me.
I use screen pretty often, especially when OOo is compiling. Nothing
worse than starting that thing in a Konsole and realizing you need to
log out about 6 hours in. o-O
