I have ssh sessions to remote machines, I use multiple terminal windows, and multiple tabs. I don’t use tmux, is there something about tmux that makes it hard to know where you are?

There's nothing specific about tmux that makes it hard to know where you are, but it does let you keep any number of terminals open on one screen, which is super-helpful, but requires a lot of mental overhead to keep track of where everything is.

If you're able to keep track of the context of 50 windows without a prompt, more power to you, but that's not something I can do and I require some signage to ground where a specific prompt is.
