*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.
