This sentiment seems to be shared widely. Is there a good conversion guide for tmux users? I tried zellij a couple of years ago when it first got popular and it didn't click for me.
I love the name (from zellige): (architecture) A form of terracotta tilework covered with enamel in the form of chips set into plaster, characteristic of Moroccan architecture.

https://zellij.dev/screencasts/ has some starting links, if screencasts do it for you For me the only glitch was some key binding collision with ghostty/aerospace but it works perfectly out of the box on alacritty for me
I think part of my resistance initially was that it took up much screen space with borders and such. I learned now that that can be switched off or modified. Didn't go deep yet, just tried the different options from `zellij -l welcome`. I think that should actually be the default startup and then maybe disable or prompt to disable in future.

Cool, I didn't know that. It always makes me think of Zellig, the Woody Allen movie.
I don't get it. I don't want a 1970s teletype interface in 2026 just to have persistent command line sessions. Where's the 2026 windowed version that feels exactly like a native terminal/iTerm/ghostty app but keeps sessions alive and lets me reconnect to them, no middle man with Ctrl keys for control. I know this post will get a lot of hate responses. I don't care. Respond by fax
Take a look at headless project management in Zed or JetBrains. They do exactly that -- bring clear separation of concerns in a high-level API so that you don't have to mux/demux everything into/from byte stream like terminal applications do.

There's still no such standard. You either provide a terminal API or build a custom client-server app (GUI + backend). The later means there's no place in your setup for terminal apps which expect a TTY interface (emulated by your terminal app). What are you gonna do about that?
