Screen and tmux are almost the same these days. Screen used to not allow side-by-side splits, but it can do that too now.

It has allowed that for a long, long time.
Okay, but is it actually good?
Screen vertical split works fine.
Let me rephrase that -- is it good enough to use 100% of the time you're in a terminal? Cause that's what I do with tmux and it works phenomenally. Haven't had a similarly good experience with screen before, but I'm open to being wrong.
Never had any problem with screen. Have lost a couple of sessions in tmux
With screen splitting?
