My understanding is: Mosh can't scroll because it doesn't send you the full output of the terminal. It only sends you the current "window" (visible terminal contents) at the current time. ET sends you everything. So if a program suddenly outputs a massive number of lines, mosh will discard the beginning and only send you the visible end of the output. ET will send you everything - which might bog down slow connections, but provides natural scrollback. Different tradeoffs.

I'd like something cleverer than that. Act like mosh but use spare time/capacity to send the historical buffer too. That way you get the best of both worlds.

  That would be interesting, but also require support from the terminal emulator. Hence why ET is "native scrolling", I guess?

    Oh, so it's actually an 'eternal shell'?

I use tmux on the other side of mosh, and _that_ gives me scroll back plus all of the other great things about tmux.
