Does anyone run tmux with a tiling window manager for local development?

If so, what are the advantages? I know automating sessions is one of them, as explained in the article.

I am more interested in hearing about interactions with the terminal. You already get good mouse-less window management with something like i3 or xmonad.

How about copy & paste? I use urxvt plugin for this, but I often find myself using the mouse to select and middle-click. Is tmux better?

I was a long time tmux user while on mac. Since I've swapped to arch and i3 I don't use tmux at all, and just use the WM. I basically live in terminals nowadays and I've not really missed tmux. The thing I really do miss is vim-tmux-navigator.
