Same. Need multiple terminals visible at once? New window. Need a few separate sessions? New tab(s).

All the bells and whistles people have shown me over the years... it never even gets close to making me think "oh yea, that's better than basic tab/window management and the terminal app that comes with my OS".

I've always found tabs to be pretty limiting, though I have a ton of them in Firefox and Konsole since that's what's - been - available. They're marginal improvement over multiple windows. Then Horizon[0] came on the scene a few weeks ago and I fell in love with that infinite canvas. Started tweaking it like crazy, but now I'm working on a full port that natively supports Xpra[1], so I can have all my apps on an infinite canvas with views grouped exactly as I prefer. And that's the future IMO.

That requires a good window manager, which macOS does not have.

There are tons of good options for window management these days.

I’m currently trialing https://tangrid.app/ and it’s got some nice features.

For the few times a month I need to have two windows/panes visible at the same time, I take five seconds positioning and sizing them then move on.

I need it all the time. large monitors are a lot more productive for any task that involves looking at more than one thing while doing it if you have tiling.

use tmux.

tiling managers like Terminator are, to me, the most efficient. Something like Blender for hybrid customization might be a sweetspot. Blender allows for arbitrary layout and essentially tab control in any tile.
