At some point, I use to run a vim inside a tmux inside a window. It
turned out to be super annoying because all the shortcuts to move the
windows, splits, and views ended up being very similar and got mixed
up from time to time.
It was ridiculous. Really.

I now use dtach for persistent sessions (mostly irc and torrent
clients) and don't encounter any problems. It does not provide scroll
back nor copypaste but I don't generally need those.
I use a window manager (and sometime, yes, several terminals, each
with a remote shell).
When I really need scrollback or copy-paste, I use dvtm. (Or when I
run on a machine that is so bad that all I want is a full-screen
terminal and nothing else.)
Cheers,
