As an avid tmux user I rarely find the need for a tabbed Putty. Though if I had to choose an alternative Putty fork, Kitty would get my vote.. http://www.9bis.net/kitty/

When your work computer is Windows.

No they are saying that they would only need 1 PuTTY session to their jump server, and then run tmux from there, giving them "tabs" in the SSH session.

I really prefer different windows to having one window with tabs. Esp for tailing logs. I guess I dont use a small laptop screen though.

My preferred open source tool is Multi PuTTY Manager which has nice coupling to WinSCP. Otherwise I use SecureCRT though I imagine XShell is just as good at that level.

If you only connect to one server yes.

It would be great if they could keep their website up. I feel SecureCRT is worth the money, always have. However, another alternative http://smartty.sysprogs.com/

Unless you connect from that server to others.

This project appears to have been abandoned. I note that there have been no updates since 2012, and that PuTTY has had several security updates since then. I'd be cautious.

I don't have a anything to cite either, other than personal anecdotes. 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.

Why do non technical users need to use PuTTY? Probably showing my general world knowledge ignorance here.

There are still plenty of legacy green-screen (text based) applications alive in the corporate world that need to be accessed with an ssh or even telnet client.
