neovim is a great tool, I agree.

However, tmux can be useful outside of vim as well.

If you want to do a non-vim related task in the terminal, I wouldn't want to have to open vim just to be able to multiplex my terminal.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :P

It depends, as always. If you're just writing code and need a shell or two to start builds or commit things, the inline terminal emulator is everything you need and more. If you're managing a bunch of servers -- obviously not.
