Interesting. When I tried Zellij I found that the menus were too much in my face, compared to tmux/screen more minimal design. I see how this is a good thing when you start using it but I wonder if it gets tiring in the long run, in a clippy sort of way.

But yes it makes sense that this feature makes it superior to tmux for some users. A good case for having diversity in software.

I could see that. I use Emacs with all the toolbars etc turned off. I get it.

I’m not a hardcore tmux user. I just like having persistent sessions on remote machines and bouncing between tabs, things like that. When I want to do something beyond that, with tmux I’d have to RTFM each time. In Zellij, the menu bar lets me discover it easily.

Bottom line: you’re right. I’m glad they both exist!
