This looks like the nano of terminal multiplexing to me.

The tips on the bottom just clutter the screen and the use of cowsay as example code makes it look like a joke instead of a serious tool, which it very well might be.

To be honest, I don't think that's a bad thing. Nano makes it simpler to teach someone how to run their own server, without having to get into "press hjkl to move, except when they put letters, or when it's in a command".

Yes nano has a good use case since an editor is pretty much mandatory to administer a server. And since we all had to start somewhere most of us I am sure used nano at some point.

A terminal multiplexer is not mandatory at all to work on a server, so I wonder who would use a terminal multiplexer and also wants to see the basic commands at all times.

I would, as I don't have the time or patience to remember all of tmux's commands. For a command line text editor I also use micro, which has sane keyboard shortcuts out of the box.

Interesting, but the lack of detaching functionality is a dealbreaker compared to tmux. Once it gets that I will try it.
