Use case for Neovim terminal mode inside tmux session

Question

Now that we have terminal mode in neovim, I wonder if there is still a use case for tmux. Let's say I need to work on a remote machine using SSH. To keep the vim session constant, I started a tmux session on a remote machine, ran neovim, and created as many terminal windows as needed. I no longer need to use the tmux window mechanism. Are there any use cases that neovim terminal mode cannot satisfy?

Answer 1

tmux provides session management. For example, you can create multiple sessions and then disconnect / reconnect as you like. With terminal emulation in neovim, the shell is killed when the terminal buffer is closed. Thus, a precedent is still used for it, however, the main use case of vim + tmux has been eliminated with terminal emulation.
