To those who use a tiling window manager: how do you incorporate tmux in your workflow? Since I've mainly used tmux to show multiple terminal sessions at once, I found it to be redundant in a tiling wm environment. But I'm sure I'm missing out on other features that my wm cannot provide.

I use a tiling WM and I use screen solely for the detaching functionality. It means I can restart X without restarting things like irssi.
I only use screen/tmux when connecting to a server to preserve compile sessions/outputs.
