And people wonder why I think terminal is pretty horrible environment for anything but purely line driven applications. Just the other day my coworker was asking my why on earth do I run gvim instead of vim in terminal; I feel now vindicated. Sure, I haven't hit this issue but I am all the time cognizant of the eldritch horrors that are the terminal emulation layers, which makes me prefer to avoid them. And having tmux sit in the middle doing another emulation layer does definitely not help the feeling. I just wish there were more almost ncurses like lightweight toolkits that would run natively in graphical environments, because to me they seem pretty rare.

It's not the smoothest, but at least it's fairly stable/consistent with good performance (vs. e.g. an electron GUI app). Once you get things dialed, you can keep your workflow going for years with minimal changes since nobody is trying to make money trying to sell you a new version of your workflow. I do a lot of work over SSH, too, so it's really nice to have my regular workflows largely port over to remote work.
