These secure shell apps have been around for a long time. Have you discovered a new one that you like better than the older "usual suspects"?
I agree with you, I love SecureCRT. I used the non-secure version, CRT, for years and when our primary Unix admin decided telnet within our network was dangerous and started forcing us to use SSH I got SecureCRT. I have used PuTTY and it is OK but the interface, session saving and loading etc. are just too cumbersome for someone that uses it every day in my opinion.
Not only does it provide a nice tabbed interface, but the creators also built APIs that you can hook with your favorite scripting language. If you don't have budget or time to use an SNMP based tool, then being able to script changes to hundreds of devices is the next best thing.
I use Kitty, it is a fork of the Putty Project that is actively maintained.

I use Gnome Connection manager. Multiple tabs, SSH/Telnet/local shells, tunnelling, logging, keepalive etc. But nothing beats iTerm2 on the Mac.
Anybody using Putty; I found PuttyCS which works with Putty and allows for some scripting with local files on remote machines.

No problem, I posted the question on Experts Exchange once because I don't like using programs that are not actively updated. I mean Putty works, but I'm sure there are SOME tweaks that can be made to improve it. And Kitty proves this

From my Ubuntu desktop and laptop I just use the built-in SSH client from BASH, really don't see the point in using anything else for straight SSH sessions. For SFTP or FTP I use Filezilla. From a Windows box I use mRemoteNG which takes care of everything if you are on a Windows Machine, including SSH, RDP, VNC, Citrix and so on. http://www.mremoteng.org
There are procedures on the web that detail how to combine CygWin + PuTTY + Pageant to end up with the ability to SSH out of and *into* a Windows platform from either Linux or Windows.
Bonus: The procedure I found uses Pageant as a PKI key agent, allowing you to use RSA keys. This allows you to perform secure log-ins between platforms, yet only enter your password once, at the beginning of your session; the agent stores your (unlocked) private key and handles the PKI password-less connections from that point until you end your session.
Works with any combination of Linux-Windows, and Windows-Windows. I only wish there were an automated installer...
