I never saw the value of tmux unless your running a command that can’t be interrupted.

Having multiple windows vs tabs on my desktop seems so much easier.

Yes, I agree. What is the usage for tmux? Multiple tabs on a quake-style dropdown terminal on a desktop (like guake) does seem much easier than tmux, especially when gnu-screen is always available when you need to run an uninteruptible command.

From what I gather, tmux is useful if you are basically running a persistent remote workspace via terminal on a server and treat your desktop like a thin-client, is that correct?
