well, i've been using mosh for two(?) years and it's not perfect.

but i still use it and would miss it very much, the whole experience is much smoother using mosh and bad connections are more bearable with it




can't autocomplete hosts in the config (ssh can do that)

If you mean writing "ssh <tab>" and having it auto-complete, that's a feature of the shell (usually with some "plugin" to add support for that particular command). They added support for Bash in 2012 [1], what OS and shell are you using?
