I switched to MOBAXterm for this years ago. I need to give this a try. MOBAXterm does have a full X server and X11-Forwarding which is very handy.
Nice to see more alternatives to PuTTY. PuTTY's lack of a decent website hosting has been the source of too much confusion including accidental downloading of malicious versions.
These days I just SSH out of WSL using ConEmu (https://conemu.github.io/) as the console. Seems to fit my overall workflow the best and gives me a mostly common experience between my Windows and Linux systems; including essentially a tabbed terminal experience. I still use plink.exe from the PuTTY distribution so tools like Git on the Windows side can still behave like they do on Linux using ssh-agent.
Has anybody else tried using native Win32 OpenSSH like myself instead of PuTTy? https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH Edit: Also, the linked site for MTPuTTy doesn't seem to want to load for me.
They are open issues and being actively worked on, but it isn't exactly stable enough to use everyday, at least for me.

Almost all the issues are intermittent, and you might not be affected, but my luck has been bad:
* Hangs till return, sometimes. [0]
* v-flag can hang. [1]
* Alt sends \0. [2]
* Authentication fails. [3]
* Nmap fills the hard drive when sshd is running. Sometimes. [4]
* Git compatibility isn't quite there. [5]

Citation needed.
This has happened many times to folks in my workplace. They come across the PuTTY download page and think that it's a shady looking site, and then continue looking elsewhere.
We instead just deploy putty.exe to everyone's machine directly now.
I use to use PuTTY and then later MOBAXterm. PuTTY was a bit too simplistic for my taste and MOBAXterm way too much bloat.

I've been using Xshell[1] and Xftp[2] (both are non-free licensed, free for personal/"home" use). Updated often, great interface, lots of features. Xshell comes with Xagent, its version of pageant/ssh-agent. [1] https://www.netsarang.com/products/xsh_screenshot.html [2] https://www.netsarang.com/products/xfp_screenshot.html
