Necessity is the mother of invention. But I think you'll find that when you start writing something like that, you'll eventually learn enough about the config format that you'll no longer need a wizard to create the config for you. Then, it becomes hard to work on the wizard, because the necessity aspect is gone.

Another question to ask is, who would pay for it? A lot of people buy services for things that they can do themselves. But "we'll manage your datacenter" saves a lot more time than "we'll manage your tmux config file", and so is an easier sell. That is why there are an infinite number of cloud providers, or software for being your own cloud provider, relative to tmux config generators.

My point is... there is very little incentive to write such a thing. You won't make any money, and you won't use it yourself. Writing any software takes a long time, so you need some goal at the end. Payment and personal interest both generate a lot of motivation, but "some person I've never met saving a few minutes for free" rarely does. Thus, such a thing does not exist.

Shouldn't tmux core devs be motivated to write a tool like this? Assuming they are interested in attracting more users.

If you're not motivated by altruism, I can't teach it to you.
