It's definitely not a complete alternative, but a surprising number of tmux users are only in it for the session persistence. We did a little internal (criminally underpowered and confounded) survey of some tmux users at google and found that half of them were only really using it for session persistence. I was really surprised by this and thought more people would be using all the slick tiling features that tmux has.
- beryilma 2y agoI think there is a whole group of vim + tmux people out there and their primary use case may not be session persistence, but to construct an IDE like environment, which is also my use case.
- ethanpailes 2y agoYeah I was expecting a lot of that, which is why I found that survey data so surprising.
- leni536 2y agoNote that vim also has windows, tabs and tiling, along with terminals.
