If you happened to have mastered screen, all the more power to you. I know there can be a lot of power in screens rc and scripting. Tmux was easier for me to understand and the default packages are much easier than patched screen. Also, there seems to be a steady stream of features released for tmux. I've heard screen can be quite stagnant.
