At work I use Windows->Putty->Linux->tmux, at home I use Linux->urxvt->ssh->Linux->tmux and Linux->uxrvt->tmux. When working on a Linux machine directly, I also use a tiling window manager.
Do you mean as opposed to people who use screen, or as opposed to people who somehow do without either? Since tmux was invented in the OpenBSD world, I expect it's still mostly Unix users.
For me yes, Win7 + MobaXterm which totally rocks, so much so I paid for it. Worth the punt just for the X support i.e. PyCharm running on remote server with UI on my Win7 desktop.
