I've given tmux two separate tries and both times it had screen corruption issues with curses apps. screen is tried (and tried, and tried) and true.
I've also invested enough time in learning bash over the years that zsh is not a net-win for me. I've switched to using it on some systems but I seldom use more than what's available in bash. I would switch back to bash on these systems for consistency, but I feel like I've already sunk too much time in to this experiment of using zsh.
don't be a zsh/tmux hipster; there's nothing wrong with "good enough". this lesson has played out several times as businesses / software with arguably better execution / implementation loses out to existing players that have been around a while.
Edit: though, if you're relatively new and haven't been using bash/screen/whatever for decades, I don't think anybody would call you a hipster for using zsh/tmux instead of bash/screen. The marginal utility of learning tmux or zsh is much higher for somebody who hasn't already used other stuff forever.
