Emacs users should be using Emacs as their terminal multiplexer...
One reason to run Emacs in tmux is if you work on remote machines over, e.g. ssh. Emacs in tmux (or screen) lets you detach, log out then log back in and re-attach to the remote session with Emacs still running. That's amazingly handy.
C-h f server-start
If you like tmux, also check out teamocil ( https://github.com/remiprev/teamocil ) to really enhance your use. It enables you to define tmux sessions via YAML, which is great for programmatically setting up a complex dev session. Mine, for example, fires up six panes in my preferred layout, and starts up a particular part of our project in each pane.
Teamocil author here, glad you like it! :)

Well - it's my tool of choice for editing Makefiles. :) But that's all I use it for. My vim setup automatically hammers tabs to spaces, and make doesn't like that. Shell users who use emacs mode (most ppl) may be annoyed by ctrl+a missing.

I only glanced it over, but I'm having a hard time seeing the advantage of this over shell scripts calling tmux commands.
You could achieve the same thing with shell scripts, but one of teamocil’s advantages is that it gives you the simplicity of YAML to build complex layouts.
Spoken like someone who's never actually looked into how complex YAML can be.

Could you elaborate? I'd love to try that.
Just open several terminal buffers in Emacs.

Yes, you definitely should, just make sure to plop this into your .tmux.conf unbind C-b set -g prefix C-a
No, don't. C-b is a much better shortcut than C-a.
