Recently I switched from Tmux to Kitty, and couple of days ago I realized that I really miss Tmux’s persistence. It’s just so easy to lose a session!
When GUI hangs or crashes (which happens with Kitty sometimes) I really want to be able to start it again and get the same session back. Especially considering that there’s no way to update configuration of running instance and that it loses its remote control socket if you launch another instance on the same socket by accident, hurdles like these can be profoundly inconvenient when you're in the middle of work.
That said, Kitty is really fast and decently scriptable (though perhaps not as flexible and definitely less straightforward than Tmux, primarily due to lack of consistency—some commands are remote-control only, others are internal-only), and with turned off window decorations it can look fantastic and offer all of the screen estate without the inconveniences of native macOS full-screen mode I had to use with Terminal.
