Has anyone used these, and can they give me a comparison: tmux/scree/byobu

Currently a byobu user, it seems fine so far. Wondering what others offer more than that.

I also use byobu but byobu uses preconfigured screen or tmux configuration. You can choose the tmux or screen backend with the commands byobu-tmux or byobu-screen.

I use screen and tmux for different tasks.

I'll use screen when I need to run a long-running task and can't keep my terminal session open.

I use tmux with a script so that I can ssh into multiple nodes and broadcast the same commands to them all at the same time. Great for interactive deployments that I haven't been able to automate away with CFEngine just yet.

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?

if you're running it on linux, is any reason to use screen for long-running tasks, instead of Docker?

Docker and screen do completely different things, unless you mean some other Docker than what google found for me.

I haven't explored Docker yet. Some of my team members have been looking into it. Hoping to read up and experiment with it a bit once I have some free time.

Works out the box with tmux 1.8 and later + iTerm2 these days. Simply run tmux -CC [attach] and the tmux session pops up as tabs in iTerm2. I don't know about any similar alternatives for linux :(

Yup, it was merged into trunk for 1.8. I love iTerm/Tmux integration.
