Mosh is great, but it does not support port forwarding. For some people, including myself, this is a deal breaker. It has been an open issue/feature request since 2012[1] and even has a ~600 USD bounty on it[2].

I would also love this feature, but I understand the argument that it's major feature-creep for this project - as I understand, with mosh as implemented it would be difficult to integrate. IIRC they would have to roll some kind of TCP over UDP? I'm not sure, it's been a while since I looked at it. I'm willing to accept a good tool missing features over a poorly maintained tool that at some point had all the features I care about.

And realistically $600 is a pittance compared to the long-term cost of maintaining a feature that has the potential to dramatically increase the size of the code base.

EternalTerminal[1] was mentioned in a comment below. It supports port forwarding, and other goodies like native scrollback, at the cost of latency on laggy connections (because it doesn't do full terminal emulation). If that tradeoff sounds good to you, try it!
