Each to his own. Your setup sounds like a parody of the most outlandishly neckbeardy things devs can do in a shell. Most users don't want to deal with that sort of "layering".

I shaved off my neckbeard, I'll have you know! ;)
My setup's no more outlandish than using tmux or screen, except instead of typing `tmux` or `screen` I type `shell`, which aliases a `dtach dvtm` one-liner (with a few options sprinkled around, so I don't have to bother with config files).
The point is that none of these applications care if/how they're composed; if I want to add in or swap out something, it's just a change that one-liner.
Not so if, say, my terminal application were hard-coded to rely on tmux, as some sibling comments have suggested.
