Screen has it’s use too though. Install it on the servers you connect to. Then you can take advantage of session durability...Which tmux also has (tmux detach / tmux attach).
...and sharing...
Which tmux can also do, arguably better, because it doesn't require a setuid binary.
If you need to create multiple console windows inside that server connection, then Screen allows you do to that as well.
Which tmux also allows.
Having said all that, like the author I also use tmux locally and screen remotely, but this is more a function of the relative newness of tmux, and ubiquity of screen than of any extra capabilities of screen.
