It was one of the first tools I installed on every machine, right after vim and ssh. Screen kept long compilations alive through flaky connections, let me juggle IRC and tail logs on the same VT100, and never once lost a session I cared about. For a tool born in 1987, that is a remarkable track record.</p> <p>About fifteen years ago I switched to tmux. It was not because Screen broke. It was because tmux made me faster at work I was already doing, and then it kept getting better while Screen stood still. I have not looked back.</p>
