what does zellij offer that tmux doesn't?
I love tmux and haven't had a reason to switch for a while, but have heard these new Rust based terminal tooling get really popular.

Zellij can do things like floating windows, contextual keybinding guidance (helps learn everything that can be done), and a more complex layout schema. You can disable all the UI eye-candy and switch to tmux-style bindings too.
It's worth trying out. I use both so that I can still function on systems without it.
If you watch some of the screencasts and are not impressed, there is nothing more I can do to pitch the idea. My only complaint is that I feel like I am only ever scratching the surface of what the tool can offer.
I switched away from tmux a year or so ago due to one crash I kept getting, but thinking of going back. Really miss the simplicity.
