It depends on how you open your terminal windows. If you just use

:terminal

then if you use ":mksession", vim will only remember that you have a
terminal. But if you use

:terminal some_application --paremeter --other-parameter

then ":mksession" will remember what was running in that window and
re-spawn "some_application" with the appropriate arguments, not just
a blank shell when you reload the session.


For me, tmux (and GNU screen) provide additional benefits of

1) being able to monitor for silence/activity

2) the ability to re-connect to a session from a different connection
(start something on one machine, then ssh into the machine from
elsewhere and resume with everything where it was).


It doesn't detract from the functionality of :terminal as I do like
being able pause the :terminal and then interact by
yanking/moving/pasting with the full power of vim, not just a
vim-like approximation provided by tmux's copy-buffer mode.
