 5-Using `zmx` with `ssh` is a first-class citizen.  Instead of sshing into your remote system with a single terminal and have `n` tmux pandes, you open `n` number of terminals open and ssh into your remote system `n` number of times.  This might sound like a downgrade, but there are tools to make this a delightful workflow.

20 Now you can use the [`autossh`](https://linux.die.net/man/1/autossh) tool to make your ssh connections auto-reconnect.  For example, if you have a laptop and close/open your laptop lid it will automatically reconnect all your ssh connections:

40+Wow!  Now you can setup all your os tiling windows how you like them for your project and have as many windows as you'd like, almost replicating exactly what `tmux` does but with native windows, tabs, splits, and scrollback!  It also has the added benefit of supporting all the terminal features your emulator supports, no longer restricted by what `tmux` supports.
