For me, herdr's benefits over terminal splits are:

1. Surfacing agents which are ready for further input

2. Letting you jump quickly to said agents

3. SSH session persistence, as I work on a beefy devbox at work. tmux also offers this.

I often need to juggle several streams of work at $job in parallel - such are the expectations.

Like you though, I'd much prefer to use my terminal directly with the indirection of an additional multiplexer like herdr or tmux - lower latency, easier scrollback & copying.

Session persistence can be solved by zmx [1].

Points 1 and 2 however are concerned with tracking the state of and navigating to parallel agents. I'm thinking about creating a TUI or SwiftUI app to handle those points in the way I like, but the challenge of integrating such an app with zmx and kitty to jump to the right panes both locally and over a devbox is a little daunting. Plus, I've found my devbox doesn't play too well with `ControlMaster auto` SSH config suggested by the zmx docs.
