we sponsored fd's development a while back and we occasionally sponsor terminal tool authors from time to time at Terminal Trove where we have more tools in the trove. (0)
we're currently sponsoring zellij which I encourage you to check out and sponsor! (1)
I don't know if it can do everything that tmux or screen can do. I bet it probably can't. But it does all the things I want such a thing to do, and without needing any configuration on my part.
But yes it makes sense that this feature makes it superior to tmux for some users. A good case for having diversity in software.
I’m not a hardcore tmux user. I just like having persistent sessions on remote machines and bouncing between tabs, things like that. When I want to do something beyond that, with tmux I’d have to RTFM each time. In Zellij, the menu bar lets me discover it easily.
Bottom line: you’re right. I’m glad they both exist!
