I switched to tmux and I switched back due to the weird server/session/window/pane model that makes no sense and prevents me from showing different windows or layouts on different clients. 4 levels of objects is ridiculous and when you end up with less capabilities than screen, what are we doing?

I would love to switch to a modern, maintained terminal multiplexer, but it would need to, well, be good at multiplexing.

Server? I never encouter that while using tmux.

You can just use one session if you like, and if you do, it's the default, so you don't have to do anything special.

Tabs and Windows work similar as in screen as far as I can see.

No, you can't. Using one session, every client have to show exactly the same panels with the same layout in the same terminal size.
