Coming from Linux/macOS, PuTTY was one of the things that always drove me bonkers. So much clicking to change settings. So many times I was uncertain about whether I'd edited or saved the right session.

I'm trying out Windows again, and the whole environment seems to have massively improved in the four years since I last played with it: after installing bash for windows and docker for windows and openssh through scoop, I can open a command line and use native ssh, or type "bash" and use the usual Linux version, or "docker run ..." and use whatever I'm used to there. Given all these great options, it's not clear to me why anyone would go back to a separate GUI tool?
