I was in the same position a while back. However, thanks to this article[1] and learning a little bit about tmux behavior, I'm happily tmuxified. I recommend it.

- wyldfire 10y ago> Screen contents persisted through full-screen programs: in Screen, you lose your terminal's previous contents after leaving a full-screen program like an editor. Tmux doesn't have this problem. Does this mean I can preserve scrollback among each terminal? If so, I'll switch tomorrow morning. That's screen's biggest drawback.
- amadeusz 10y agoUm, each screen window remembers it's scrollback properly? C-a [ - to enter 'scrollback' mode, and you can use arrows there. What they seem to describe is altscreen behaviour which can be disabled with "altscreen off" in .screenrc .
- wyldfire 10y agoOh, that's right. I'm so used to the terminal emulator's scrollback buffer keys I forgot that you just have to escape to get to this behavior. I suppose there's no way to have this work the way I want until/unless the terminal mode natively supported multiple sessions/screens.
