What's Good
MIT. Layouts, panes, tabs, WASM plugins, discoverable UI. First-class floating panes and session persistence. Fits the agent-terminal lane: predictable workspaces for long-running coding agents.
The Catch
Rust terminal workspace/layouts/plugins — agent terminal lane; not tmux-clone marketing. Plugin ecosystem younger than tmux. Some SSH/remote habits still assume tmux/screen.
Verdict
MIT Rust terminal workspace. Free forever; layouts over tmux nostalgia.
