Pardon my ignorance. Why are screen/tmux so popular ? I just use a terminal with tabs (i.e. Gnome terminal)

screen/tmux persist when you log out. Let's say you have 10 shells open to a remote server in screen session and you reboot you client computer. If you ssh back into the remote and run screen...pow, you have your 10 shells back.

In part because you can use screen/tmux over an ssh connection.
