I use Zellij everyday. It's been awesome - copying text from a pane, easy scrollback, session resurrection. Yes, all of this is possible with tmux, but I had to do ZERO configuration on zellij. That being said, I worry about "terminal based desktop", that feels like a lot of stuff packed into zellij (which I personally want to use as terminal multiplexer). Will be interesting to see how it evolves. Great project so far!
Having Zellij _also_ be a first-class terminal emulator is ridiculously cool. I have so much muscle-memory in tmux+zsh/fish, but on Windows, Zellij + Nushell is such a life-saver, I'm considering putting in the effort to switch.
