I've tris Mosh several times and never found any tangible benefit in any scenario.

Doesn't SSH drop if the connection drops? I keep my connections with Mosh/Eternal Terminal open for weeks or even months at a time, when devices are going in and out connectivity many times.

I found the "lets pretend like there is no input latency" thing to be more distracting than useful. As soon as something does not work as expected the illusion is broken. It made me more grumpy than not having it on in the first place.

Mosh is so good, but their unwillingness to implement OSC52 for copying to clipboard sent me back to tmux.

Eternal Terminal works as well as Mosh for me and supports OSC52. I switched to et in order to sync my remote tmux clipboard with my local clipboard.

When doing sysadmin or neteng tasks in remote areas and sometimes on crappy lossy internet, I wish this was on every device. I haven't touched mosh in at least 10 years. JuiceSSH is still my go-to android ssh/mosh client.

I had the opposite experience. I have worked remotely without mosh. The choppiness of responses was more distracting than pretending that the network will always be reliable.

I used to use this but ran into too many small issues that ended up outweighing the benefit compared to a plain-old ssh connection. Personally, I'm hoping for a QUIC-based alternative that reaps the benefits of being able to change IP addresses and recover from intermittent connection loss without any of the typing prediction stuff from mosh.

Pls don't take away arguably the best feature! :-)

Last commit to master was over two years ago, has mosh been replaced by something else or is the project just "complete"?

I have replaced it with Eternal Terminal: https://github.com/MisterTea/EternalTerminal But I don't know how widespread that is.

Can you tell us why you made the switch?
