Moving to Emacs, I'm going to miss tmux more than I'll miss vim (there's evil-mode).
I use emacs inside tmux all the time (on a Mac, in iTerm2). Works great.
Does anyone know how to save/ retrieve sessions?
I remember using on the mac a branch of tmux with iTerm, where the gui understood tmux, giving native tabs and scrollback. I thought this was the greatest thing ever, but am now on Linux. Is this work still continuing does anyone know?
Awesome little program. It's saved so much time so far. For anyone that wants to get up and running: https://github.com/andyhmltn/dotfiles That contains two tmux config files that add a few things like CTRL+B thenSHIFT+P for a nice layout and a shortcut for switching between panes with ALT+Arrow keys
bind-key -n C-up next
bind-key -n C-down prev

If you're on Windows, ConEmu offers the same functionality. And as a bonus you can also run windows apps inside the terminal window. Here's how it looks http://i.imgur.com/dEpQYJf.jpg

That tmux broadcast trick sounds interesting. Are you able to provide some more details about it please?
Pull up the command line with "Ctrl-b :" Synchronize your panes: "setw synchronize-panes on" Now you can send the same commands to all panes in the current window. To turn synchronization off: "setw synchronize-panes off" My shell script takes in a list of tuples (hostname plus a special id that I need to paste for my tasks that's unique to each host), splits off a window pane for each hostname(tmux split-window -h),…

If you wouldn't mind, I'd be hugely grateful as I often find myself having to do similar tasks as what you describe (and even wanted to set up a script to auto start sessions in different panes like you do but wasn't aware that was possible).
While I do use tmux quite heavily (to the point where I found myself needing to rebind a lot of the keys to be more vi like or more convenient to manage one handed), I reckon I still only use about 10% of it's functionality. So it would be good to see other solutions based around tmux.

if you're running it on linux, is any reason to use screen for long-running tasks, instead of Docker?
The reason folks asked, "docker is a screen replacement?" is because one typical use case is using screen within an ssh session where you might get disconnected. screen holds onto the session so that you can ssh back in and continue from where you left off. $ ssh hostname $ screen # some time later, you get disconnected... $ ssh hostname $ screen -x # back to where you were before getting disconnected.
