> Besides being able to SSH into a session Does it need to do anything other than that? I simply can't imagine not having that feature. The way I use computers would have to fundamentally and radically change. I have long-running sessions on a personal server which I can access from any computer or mobile device I own, seamlessly. I can start compiling, put away the laptop, go do something, and come back to the complete job later. I can check the progress on my phone. But, I don't actually bother with tmux on the laptop. You're right that the tiling features are not essential on their own (but do become useful in the context of a remote session).
