I've spent a lot of time in thought on this and as for me, tmux is not a 
replacement for screen.

Reason, screen's code is vetted, stable and supported.  I've tried to 
build tmux on aix and there is no semblance of support in the irc channel.

Screen also has saved session support, templates,  vertical split (new 
patch, not in main) and i've been told by one of the devs, scripting 
support with python and lua coming.

I can personally attest to the awesome support from screen's irc channel 
so I'm not kicking them to the curb.
