I'm a very happy byobu user. I think's it's just a tmux configuration accessible to newcomers. The benefits are: - Toolbar with windows for visual orientation. - byobu-enable command that sets up auto-start of byobu on SSH login. - F1 - F12 shortcuts for most common operations with F1 being very concise help on the most common actions. It's good enough that I can just install it on servers and most of the users won't need to further tune the config. This way, if I connect to a new server, I get a friendly UI. Plain tmux requires more effort in the beginning. If you customize the config, now you need a way to distribute it to all the servers you connect to.
