Can someone explain the benefits of using tmux or screen or something similar over opening multiple terminals in a tiling WM?
The two arguments I could see are resource usage (not an issue on modern machines) or detach/attach (which is a huge benefit when working remotely, but I don't see any gain locally). But other than those, I don't see any benefits to having a second tiling system sitting on top of my current tiling system.

(For reference, I use i3.)
