As a basic user of screen, I find that there are a couple small but
annoying things I cannot do in tmux (and I couldn't even tell you what now
as I haven't used tmux in a while - renaming sessions maybe, something else
as well) that I can in screen.  So, while I think tmux is probably "the way
forward," I'm wondering what would motivate a long-time screen user to move
from one to the other.  I guess I'm hoping you'll tell us the good about
using tmux and I'll finally make the move and stick with it ...

Thanks.
