shrug Maybe. It's all about what's valuable to you.
I switched to tmux because it is better maintained and it has better screen splitting functionality. I also mapped screens commands over to tmux, so the switch was basically painless. Took all of 15 minutes.
If you're cool with screen, you're cool with screen. No worries.
- vidarh 15y agoThe maintenance thing means nothing to me, since I basically don't need any changes unless a new version of my Linux distro flavor of the day breaks it. There's been nothing new in Screen in the last 10+ years I've cared about. And I don't use the screen splitting at all - I use splitting a lot in emacs, but never in the terminal, so that's basically a non-feature for me. I want to create, remove and switch between windows, and have a status bar showing their names. That is all. I guess these are the reasons I've never seen the point in switching.
