Otherwise it works decently well for what it does. For many screen and normal ssh will do the job.
I love mosh. It's great on slow connections of any sort, but particularly great on phones. On short/medium trips I no longer bring a laptop. Just my phone and my bluetooth keyboard. I have successfully updated my rspamd DKIM signing config from a hotel lobby, among other things, with just those devices and mosh. Mosh is great.
I found et which works better than mosh in some respects. It supports scrolling, and seems faster to respond.
Any tradeoffs?

Link? Any tradeoffs?
I'd be curious about the trade offs too, I'll have to check it out.

I'm curious, do you use any kind of terminal windowing, or what do you do about dividing up screen space / multitasking on your phone? This is one thing I really like on my laptop--multitasking with the side-by-side advantage, by keeping various windows visible at once, and using virtual workspaces with hotkeys assigned. Anyway, cool to read your endorsement.
1. Log in
2. $ tmux a
3. Continue where I left off.
It's nice to have/annoying not to have more screen for doing real work. But if I'm traveling I'm not doing real work.
mosh is basically a proof of concept as a college project - it is missing Unicode and ssh-agent forwarding which may be significant for some. Otherwise it works decently well for what it does. For many screen and normal ssh will do the job.
If I could get paid to work on mosh I would.
Note that Mosh has not had release for 4 years, even when pull requests are accepted on github, and the team lead says "we are too busy/burned out". https://github.com/mobile-shell/mosh/issues/1115
I've held off finishing and releasing half a dozen projects over the last year because while I think they'd be useful I know I don't have bandwidth to support them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

They're talking about Eternal Terminal, I think https://eternalterminal.dev/ I'd be curious about the trade offs too, I'll have to check it out.
1. et has scrolling support
2. et does not have local echo of your input like mosh does
Edit: The comments below do a very good job of explaining the differences. TIL.

why hasn't someone just forked it and make a "mosh-alt"? seems like the most logical step to me.
