My three favorite features of Screen are ones the Tmux devs are strongly against adding.

* Digraphs

* Serial terminal

* Nethack mode

Digraphs are mostly for portability - when ssh-ing from OSX or Windows, I don't need to learn their compose combos. Do "^a ^V | c" and there is a ¢ symbol. It would be nice if the digraph support came from a config file, so new ones could be added.



A while back I hacked up a script for doing digraphs in tmux. It's not precisely equivalent to screen's digraph support, but it does the job and (given that it's just a Python script) can be easily extended.
