stumpwm is a window manager. tmux is a terminal multiplexer. They are not the same thing and using one does not preclude using the other.


*Started using tmux, then realized for my needs stumpwm was better. Obviously these are two different beasts. I still often use tmux on remote server for instance. However, if you use tmux locally, then a tiling manager might be better.


Exactly. I've been using xmonad for years now and I've tried to start using tmux for several occasions. I've never found any advantage of it compared to my different xmonad layouts: tabbed, tall, tall mirrored and grid.


Why not both? If you use tmux for your terminals you get persistence in case you need to restart X, or when you log in remotely.
