tmux turns scrollback from "pretty simple" on a stock xterm or other terminal, to "absolute goddamn bullshit". That, combined with the fact that I quite like using "^b" to move my cursor around, means I don't use tmux as much as I possibly should. Yes, I know I could fix the ^b problem in a config file, but as I've said elsewhere, I work on about 6 different machines on a regular basis and don't have the patience to mess around syncing my configs.

tmux(and screen) scrollback is absolutely fantastic. Navigate with keyboard(and not just page-up page-down), have vim or emacs bindings, search backward...

As I said elsewhere, it takes about 2 minutes to copy ssh keys and scp dotfiles.
