I think they are trying to say screen is better since it uses less code.

  not sure he says screen is better. screen is much older, but it's interesting to see the code comparison. i doubt this says anything about code quality - i expect a lot of non OOP code in screen and more in tmux. despite having fewer lines of code, screen's tar gz is at ~1mb, while tmux is at ~470k. overall, interesting.

    There is a bit more code in tmux but it's split in many more files than in screen, and there are significantly more blank lines and comments. tmux seems better in my opinion, but it's certainly difficult to tell without looking at the actual code.
