So why do you use screen rather than tmux for long running tasks, if you use tmux for everything else?

Force of habit more than anything else. I just learned about tmux a month ago when I needed to find a way to implement that broadcast solution. For the moment, broadcasting is the only thing I use tmux for - Just as detaching from long running sessions is the only thing I use screen for. I don't have an allegiance to either as most of my tasks I do in a single terminal window.
