Tried tmux, then went back to screen. Tmux is for hipsters.

There is also the difference in licenses, and as in users voting with their feet, I chose the BSD licensed alternative to terminal muxing.

I feel like tmux is styled more towards Mac users, with rich UI and verbose options.

screen is more akin to a unix program that borrows the styling of options from getopts.

Totally agree. Also, screen is usually default installed on fresh distros. You have to go out of your way to install tmux

You have to type: apt install tmux. Or, whatever your distro of choice's package manager install line is. I'd hardly call that going out of one's way.
