No. They are an invaluable tool. I also use a tiling WM. I feel they work better with larger screens that offer more real estate.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not a fad, a niche.
There is a saying from when the newspaper world that when a headline asks a question the answer is no.
Multiplexers are critical to my workflow due to bandwidth limitations and intermittency. mosh+tmux saves my butt daily.
If they're a fad, they've been a fad for over 35 years, so no longer a fad. Get it?
I don't understand articles like this. Terminal multiplexers are tools that help people. And they're great tools especially when you work in environments where persistent sessions save your ass.
