Prior to moving to a mac and using iTerm2, I did this very thing. But iTerm2 has good enough support for all of the same things, without some of the limitations imposed by tmux, that I find I don't need to use tmux anymore. Split windows, quick switching between panes, mouse support... it's all just there.
When I work remotely, I use the tmux integration provided by iTerm2 to provide more native windows, and it works well enough that I don't have to think about it most of the time.
If I were moving back to Windows or to a Linux development machine, I probably would go back to tmux in a single window. I'm just somewhat glad I don't have to right now.
