A comment on Ask HN: why use tmux if iterm2 provides tabbed windows.

I like tmux because I can do everything without my hands leaving the keyboard. I vaguely recall trying iterm2.

Also, tmux is much like GNU screen. I can run a remote tmux session on a server, detach it, then ssh back in and get right back into that same session later (tmux && C-b D then tmux attach)

I guess that makes sense. Been trying to revamp my coding environment, and decided to go with drbunsen's text triumvirate.

For now since I'm just working on a RoR app as a personal project, I don't really have a server and tmux's capabilities are limited on my end. So I might give tmux a go first and familiarise with it first, so i'd be more up to speed when it's capabilities can come to play fully :D

Thanks (:
