As much as I like its functionality, the tmux program ux is terribly unintuitive. From the crash course:

  tmux new -s session_name
    creates a new tmux session named session_name
  tmux attach -t session_name
    attaches to an existing tmux session named session_name
  tmux switch -t session_name
    switches to an existing session named session_name
  tmux list-sessions
    lists existing tmux sessions
  tmux detach (prefix + d)
    detach the currently attached session 
The -s/-t feel like they should not be required. They shouldn't even be different in the first place. list-sessions should just be list, since the -sessions is implicit in all other commands as well. Exiting from a session (ctrl+b d) is another new thing too. If that were at least like vim (which is terrible as well, but esc :q), it would be much easier to interact with. Only after reading the man pages these make sense.
