alt Hacker NewsFair point technically, but I think the value proposition isn't the persistent session, rathere it's the abstraction layer. Screen/tmux assumes you know what commands to run. This assumes you know what outcome you want. For someone like me who came to coding late and doesn't have 20 years of muscle memory with terminal tools, the inefficiency in transport is more than offset by the efficiency in intent. Different tools for different people.
tmux/screen is literally less work to use than this thing.
You need to learn to type less than a dozen total characters including the command.
Not to mention a lot of terminals automatically integrate with tmux so you don’t have to do anything but open the terminal.
Sure, different tools for different people. And if you want to use a new fangled triangular wheel they just invented, no one’s going to stop you
It’s still a triangular wheel at the end of the day
