My data point: I prefer tmux/multiplexing over job control because the process hierarchy leads me to managing them better (I never accidentally quit tmux). Also I don't have to worry about std stream usage. I'm actually not sure of a case I'd care for job control.

The problem with tmux is that I often start a long process without really realizing it, then control-Z bg to continue working with the shell. With tmux, I'd need to either realize up front I'm about to start a long-living thing, or lose the context of the current shell to continue my interactive work.
