It depends on what you do with it, as it does more than ssh. For example there's /sudo:: with which you can edit local files as other users. Also I have links

It depends on what you do with it, as it does more than ssh. For example there's /sudo:: with which you can edit local files as other users. Also I have links to remote files in my Org files, and if I have ssh-agent running (which I always do), all I have to do to go to that file/directory is to click the link.
