There is a keyboard shortcut that makes it easy to split a window and create more panes.
Pro Windows linked to sessions
tmux calls the individual shell instances windows. They are displayed like tabs in the status line. These windows can be shared between different sessions, so that any given shell instance can be in any number of tmux sessions used for different purposes or by different users. This allows configurations like the following example: User A: wAB, wA1, wA2; User B: wB1, wAB, wB2

It works in many instances where I cannot have a full terminal emulator. To split screens, Terminator is great on desktop, but I can't use Terminator on the Windows Subsystem for Linux, or things like it. Anywhere you can get a linux terminal, tmux should run.
