    Zellij has completely replaced tmux for me. The interface feels modern and intuitive, but it still has all the power you’d expect from a terminal multiplexer. I really like the built-in UI elements, like the tab bar and status line — makes it easy to see what’s going on at a glance. The layout system is very flexible, and the fact that you can resize panes with simple keybindings is a big plus.

Zellij has completely replaced tmux for me. The interface feels modern and intuitive, but it still has all the power you’d expect from a terminal multiplexer. I really like the built-in UI elements, like the tab bar and status line — makes it easy to see what’s going on at a glance. The layout system is very flexible, and the fact that you can resize panes with simple keybindings is a big plus.

One thing that stands out is how approachable it is for new users. The defaults are sensible, and you can get started right away without diving deep into config files (but if you want to customize, it’s super flexible).

If you spend a lot of time in the terminal and want something powerful yet user-friendly, Zellij is absolutely worth trying.
