I've been happy with the switch. I was a long-time `screen` user, too, and something that helped me a lot with the switch to tmux was adding a few lines to my ~/.tmux.conf to change the command prefix from ^b to ^a, like screen. It made the muscle-memory shortcuts I'd used for so long still basically work.
unbind C-b
set -g prefix C-a
bind-key a send-prefix

I switched from screen to tmux two days ago (after a few failed switchover attempts in the past) and "bind-key a send-prefix" was the big thing I was most missing. Thanks for that one.

Hope that helps, and good luck!
