One advantage in letting the wm tile several terminal emulator windows, rather than using a terminal multiplexer in a single window, is that you can use different font sizes in the terminals. E.g., 12pt in the master window you're working in, and 8pt in one that you're running "in the background" to monitor some process.

(Something I've often thought would be cool is a terminal emulator that automatically adjusted its font size when the window it's running in was resized -- as, for example, when it's moved to the "stack" area of a tiling wm. I'm not aware of any that can do this or how hard it would be to implement. Maybe someday. Of course, it might turn out to be a horrible idea...)
