Tmux sessions-like package for Emacs?
5 projects | /r/emacs | 2 May 2023

tabspaces, the package that leverage vanilla emacs as much as possible by using tab-bar-mode and project.el added session/tabspace restoration somewhat recently and it works pretty well.

I tend to use a single emacs instance and single frame with multiple tabs as workspaces using tabspaces (I'm the maintainer). That lets you group buffers by tab (which means by window configuration), and there is an option to connect tabs with specific "projects", as understood by the built-in project.el. I tend to have a tab for my agenda, another for email, and then tabs for whatever projects I'm working on. I've been doing this for a couple years and it works pretty well for me but YMMV.
