I use tmux in two cases:

1. At work, because I have to work on Windows, and it does not provide any
reasonable window management, so I spend most of my time in tmux in cygwin.

2. When ssh-ing in my home box, to get multiple panes and a session that
does not depend on the ssh connection lifetime.

Cheers,

Maxime.
