I happen to be a vim user. tmux, vim, vim-tmux-navigator, and some comfortable configurations in .vimrc and .tmux.conf can be a force multiplier for one's workflow. If you like vim, then it makes a lot of sense. If you don't, there's still probably some merit, but, maybe less of an incentive.

I've never used ratpoison, but just read into it. Sounds pretty great, actually. If the key bindings are simple enough, I suppose it could be pretty similar. But, as a sibling comment pointed out, it works most everywhere. Where I go, my configuration comes with me.
