Developer seatedro argues we've tolerated SSH far too long — mosh is only slightly better. His wishlist for a modern remote shell: QUIC-based connections that survive network changes, full modern VT support with scrollback, the kitty graphics protocol, a duplex clipboard that handles any format (e.g. pasting images to Claude), and built-in file transfer so scp becomes unnecessary.
