You can do everything from the keyboard. No need to ever reach for the mouse. Ever. Once you master it (the learning curve is a bit steep though), you'll never want to go back. I do use my own customized key-bindings.

Also - for long running processes, you can run stuff in a tmux session, go to bed, and wake up hours later and see exactly what happened. You can make the scrollback buffer as big as you want. My scrollback history is 50k lines, and that's totally fine. Of course the history is searchable with vim commands which is also nice.
