tmux gives you almost everything that screen does, plus it has a much
better command structure that is much easier to automate.  And tmux leaves
^a alone which some of us use for going to the beginning of the line.
 screen might still be good as a terminal emulator, but that's the only
feature that it still has that tmux lacks.
