@omni tmux isn't about tiling anything, though it gives you that option. Have you ever used a terminal emulator with tabs? tmux gives you that same functionality, but it's more robust because you can detach and reattach it at will. This enables you to do crazy things like leave it running with your irc client inside of it and then ssh in from anywhere and attach to it. It also lets you use any terminal emulator you want regardless of tab support. And if X crashes or for whatever reason you need to restart X, no worries because your tmux session just gets detached and you can easily reattach it once you've relaunched X.
