The other week I wanted to process a few hundred gigabytes of elevation data. My home internet is poor, so I rented a cheap cloud server and installed zellij on it. Zellij let me have two panes so I could monitor wget requests and also watch the overall progress. Zellij also kept the commands running even if I closed my laptop screen and my ssh connection dropped.

I also use zellij locally so I don't have to learn more than one set of keyboard shortcuts and so on. There are plently of alternatives but zellij is just convenient.
