Yes, "tabs and scrollback are unnecessary" seriously, must be some sort of a joke, I work all day long in a terminal and tabs are a must have.

yeah, it's less "unnecessary", more "provided elsewhere". in this case, he's saying by tmux... which does mean learning a bunch of new keybinds, which is a little upsetting

You can also implement tabs in the window manager, e.g. as kwin does. Then you use tabs for everything.

You can tab between terminal windows, which have tabs between terminals, which run shells in a multiplexer ;)

I work all days long in terminals and I never ever use tabs. So, "must have"...

I work all day long in a terminal and use neither.
