For starters, it has built-in dwm/XMonad-style layouts, while screen has taken ages to even get vertically split windows.

In general, one should probably know their way around GNU screen in addition to tmux just because you'll probably encounter it on more installations. Much in the same way that it's really to your benefit to know a bit about vi even if you are an Emacs user.

Agreed. They're both incredibly handy, and even if you only learn the common feature subset, it's still a huge win.
