> There is a finite amount of hierarchical panes and tabs you can work with intuitively, before you wonder why they won't accept each others keyboard shortcuts

Exactly the reason I want to manage terminals in vim. I already heavily use splitting in vim, and find it much faster and simpler to use than screen or tmux. In addition, I typically want integration between those splits, such as displaying the quickfix list in one, or showing 2-3 files in vimdiff, or yanking and pasting between files. Given that, I'd like to just open one more split in vim and have a terminal in it.

The original motivating use case for me: a vertical split, editing a manpage on one side, and showing a continuously updated render of the manpage on the other (using watch).
