I used ET but it requires a server process also. Some machines are too locked down to allow this. Wish there was a way to kick start the server on demand.
Sure. I guess caveat I haven't used Mosh in a while, so maybe things have changed.
Mosh paints the screen, meaning no native scrollback. You have to use a multiplexer like tmux to get it. But ET has native scrollback. This is the biggest one for me.
Couple years ago I was on a more limited network that constrained usage of UDP which Mosh uses. ET uses TCP.
Mosh buffers inputs locally first which gives it the appearance of low latency but that illusion breaks when there are network issues. I prefer ET, even tho it can appear slower, since network issues are more obvious and I can troubleshoot them. But on a good connection, they're indistinguishable to me.
Those are three. There may be more. Honestly they are probably still more or less interchangeable for most. No reason to switch if you love Mosh.
