I love mosh for its roaming capability: I can put my laptop into sleep at work, open at home and seamlessly continue working on the server. I had mosh sessions running for multiple weeks, even across continents! First, I almost stopped using mosh due to the scrollback issue, but it forced me to give tmux a try. Now that I use tmux to work around the scrollback issue, I also started making use of its muxing capabilities, so I only have to open one connection to the server. tmux furthermore helps when (involuntarily) rebooting the laptop since mosh is not able to reconnect to an existing session: Just create a new mosh session, kill the old mosh server and attach tmux again. I am really happy with this setup and don't look back to my old multiple gnome-terminal tabs with individual ssh sessions setup.
