Tmux is definitely a nice piece of software. For me it has been the last brick in date in my terminal-based IDE, which is made of zsh/vim/ssh/tmux. Everything is running on a remote dedicated server, and I can access my dev environment wherever I can find an internet connection and launch a ssh tunnel (which is, in my case, almost everywhere I would find myself wanting to work). In that case, tmux's sessions are god sent. I would have say the same for screen before, but with Tmux you can have this sort of niceties : https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline. Basically, it's a statusline with bells and whistle.
