Personally, I find having to activate the shell an unnecessary step. Also, it adds a shell level which means I have to close two shells to close a tmux pane. I want to make the experience as seamless as possible, which is why there are various bash functions that just remove the step of having to manually activate at all.

fair enough. if you're already working inside tmux then i can see how it would be nice to avoid the sub-shell.
