It's all a matter of personal preference, I guess.  I find F-Secure's thing 
just a little bit annoying compared to PuTTY now, but that may be a 
combination of the fact that I use PuTTY more regularly *and* I use 
F-Secure on computers in a public lab which may or may not be well-maintained.

PuTTY became my new best friend when I realized that its cut and paste was 
exactly the way I wanted it. :)
