To some extent it's mostly equivalent to using terminal windows. You can do other stuff w/ it but most of the time it's for managing lots of panes/windows. Personally I really just like its UI and it works really well w/ my workflows. I actually used to run tmux + vim splits + i3wm and managed to find myself really using the heck out of some really gnarly tiling schemes at times. Talking 10+ panes of really tiny windows at once, just on the fly. And then when I need to zoom in on one file in some pane, boom, ctrl+b+z and it's maximized.
