I've been using screen for closer to 20 years, and switched a couple of months ago. Still undecided.
My major painpoint might seem minor, but: If you're using the default ctrl+a meta in screen, and usually keep ctrl pressed when cycling through screen windows, it will take some getting used to tmux as you need to release ctrl as it will otherwise read it as another combination.
Most other stuff is configurable to your liking, though I prefer adapting to new defaults to evaluate the mindset behind the tools.
It's otherwise less different than I imagined, and I'm not sure how much you'll gain from the switch. Unless tmux gurus know a lot of cool secrets that I don't.
