> the frontend can drop frames, while the Go backend is buffering the stream

Surely that's not great. Dropped frames are terrible for following what's happening on the screen and even worse for scrolling.

mosh is also dropping frames if it needs to. only happens when the network speed can't keep up with the data being sent through
Yeah exactly. That's meant to make a laggy remote session feel a little less stuttery, which in many cases improves the experience.

It's not the same as doing that between 2 local layers.

well, i have had local sessions hang because they had to much output, so i kind of see the benefit locally too.
One terminal emulator with a bad implementation of buffering and outputting text doesn't make a different bad one good.
