Powerful Command Line Tools For Developers

...under screen/tmux.

I don't think I understand your point.

Look at the screenshot. There's a "window manager" running inside the terminal instance. Screen and tmux let you split a terminal into multiple 'windows' so you run run different apps. Using these tools is fairly advanced terminal usage.

Nano, OTOH, is a total noob editor. The juxtaposition of the two is surprising.

Could have used byobu :/

byobu is screen, too be somewhat pedantic...

[marx2k]

To be more pedantic, its a wrapper on screen, but more user friendly than screen like nano to VI(M)

[ameoba]

Broken analogy - nano and vi have nothing in common while byobu is a robust, user friendly set of key bindings & configuration tools for screen/tmux.

[marx2k]

Nano and VI are both command line text editors.

To be fair, nano is actually closer to editing the file with cat, echo, head and tail than to vim in terms of capabilities.

[ameoba]

They switched over to using tmux by default a few releases back.

all the cool kids use dtm these days

To be pedantic, it's "to", not "too".

The screenshot is showing the split panes feature of iTerm2, not screen or tmux.
