Poll: Do you primarily use Mosh instead of SSH?

2 points by ezequiel-garzon ↗ HN
So, Mosh [1] has been out for almost two years now, and has become one of the first packages I install, even if my connection is not "mobile". I wonder how many people feel this way, and weather it con be expected to become as ubiquitous as SSH itself.

(My understanding is that Mosh itself uses SSH, but I believe the title of the poll is simple and not misleading, if strictly incorrect.)

For me, the primary reason for using it outside of a "mobile" connection is that it just reconnects after getting out of standby. So if you do a break and come back you can just continue your work.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I feel the same way, plus the local echo feature Mosh provides can only help when the connection slows down. It's a pity the poll didn't get traction, but it did get a few votes! Cheers.

Definitely, I'd have liked to know the opinions other HN users have on this topic.
