Personally, I really like to be able to drag the splits between terminals, use my scroll wheel, and click between tabs.
Maybe these things can be enabled in tmux somehow? I know on a mac tmux/iTerm can do these things, but I'm on linux.

On a random note, why do all unix applications (generalising I know) seem to default to a super-minimal set of options? Surely the kind of people who get annoyed by mouse integration (and you can just ignore it) are the kind of people who can find out how to turn it on, whereas those of us who are using tmux for the first time want all the nice options turned on by default?
It's the price you pay for emulating a 35 years old piece of hardware[1] inside an emulator of the same...
With tmux's copy-mode, you can even select text without touching your mouse, using e.g. vim-like movements. Which is amazing feature.
The fact, that the copy-mode doesn't jump back down with every change on stdout is also very nice feature.
If you want to work with standard linux clipboard, you still can - just hold shift and select like in almost any linux TUI application.
