I used screen for 15 years but recently switched because I liked tmux's easy-to-read conf file and scriptability.

Mac OS X users watch out, launchctl commands barf mysteriously inside of tmux.

This should be added to a FAQ somewhere. Took me ages to figure it out on my own, especially since the error msg is so generic -> http://pig-rabbit.com/tmux-and-launchctl

Just use https://github.com/ChrisJohnsen/tmux-MacOSX-pasteboard. Works for pbcopy, pbpaste, and launchctl.

Then just alias launchctl to "reattach-to-user-namespace /bin/launchctl"
