Hello,

After a year or so in the list, I think each and every one is using tmux or screen (I think more tmux, but do not start a war please, that's not the subject).
Why is that? For the tabs?
Why not use tabbed? or DWM's mono-view (how is it called when you see only 1 window?)?

Apart from that, if it is really useful, how does it work? I searched a bit the web and I only found some keybindings, but not how the thing works.
