why is terminal multiplexing (TMUX, Screen) useful with VIM?

With the arrival of a new laptop, I'm attempting to learn all-new best practices for programming, including using VIM as my primary editor.

In the course of learning VIM online, I've run across a few tutorials by Chris Hunt, in which he touts the use of TMUX with VIM (for example, www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHdiXoHKSgU.)

My question is why wouldn't solo coding in the terminal with tabbed windows plus VIM alone be sufficient? Assuming no need to share one's terminal with others, what does terminal multiplexing give the VIM user that they don't already have?

Thanks,

G
