Save existing session layouts exactly as they are into their own session config files
Called session freezing - this can be saved into json or YAML (which is compatible with tmuxinator)

No listing feature
tmuxinator has a popular list feature which isn't available to see what sessions you have ready to load. This could be easily fixed with a simple script to ls the session folder but it should be built in.

tmuxp is the fastest tmux wrapper I've used and the devs are more responsive than the tmuxinator ones.

Pre-Commands
In the session config files you can add a config variable for pre-commands. Before a window or pane is shown a script/command is run beforehand. E.g. setting up virtualenv, vagrant provisioning, etc
