I started using tmux because 12 years ago all people said it is better than screen. I didn't use screen much myself. Sometime I read a comparison and it seems screen is good for my usage. But I didn't want to leave tmux because I wrote a wrapper around it to have more human readable syntax and it just works. And I don't want to work on modifying it for screen.

I don't use most of tmux or screen functionalities anyway. Mostly it is a way of avoiding multiple ssh connections and to run things when I close the laptop.




Almost the same for me. I just switched to byobu in early 2010s instead of creating a wrapper myself. Haven't felt the need to check anything new since.
