Discussion on: Devs, why do you use terminal tabs over tmux windows?

I actually have an opposite question for a long while now: Why would you choose to use Tmux to manipulate multiple windows when you have the native terminal tab that is working right out of the box?

Don't get me wrong, I am an active Tmux user. I use Tmux because it goes well with vim, I get to see my CPU's stat with tmux-mem-cpu-load plugin, and I occasionally need to use SSH on my work machine. But this whole thing would take a lot of convincing if I'm using other text editor and having no need to SSH. Screen real-estate won't be an issue for me either since I have a big monitor.
