iTerm2 3.0's tmux integrations take a little bit of work to set up locally, but you only have to do that once, and as long as your remote servers have a reasonably recent version of tmux (1.8, I believe), just replace filippo's `mosh HOST -- tmux a` with `ssh HOST -t 'tmux -CC new -A -s main'` (no mosh required).

yes, mosh isn't required, except with mosh you get magic roaming, disconnection support, etc. mosh is the best way to do remote shells from a mobile device (laptop, phone, etc).
Isn't the 'disconnection support' (and by extension, roaming) one of the big points of tmux? This is one of the reasons why I never bothered with mosh -- I have screen/tmux, what's the point?
it saves having to type ssh again :) Plus it's generally faster being UDP, and having predictive echo.
