The biggest complaints with screen is that the source code is a disaster, and it’s slow with lots of windows, and has put mouse support.
Tmux is very configurable, I used screen from 2005 until 2017 when I went all in on Tmux. My muscle memory couldn’t adapt though. So not all my Tmux bindings match screen.
