^A is rather comfortable with my Caps Lock key swapped with Ctrl.  If
the escape character of tmux can be configured to be ^A in the personal
startup configuration of each user, the awkwardness of ^B is really a
very minor issue.

IMO, a sample screen-like config in /usr/share/examples will go a long
way towards making tmux in the base system a comfortable and viable
screen alternative :)
