I guess I like having the prelogin GUI of PuTTY.

  Saving credentials and much more with the GUI. Not to discount the value of all the cool utilities it comes with.

    Just to be clear: there are advantages to OpenSSH too. The Windows port has an agent that runs as a service, you can configure using the standard .ssh/config mechanism that works with lots of FOSS software, and etc.

      Holy jeez are there benefits to OpenSSH over PuTTY. I have to walk end users through setting up PuTTY. Since configuration uses the registry and there are no import/export configs I have to walk them through the UI, which is a mess (especially when they miss a step). For macOS users I just give them a command line to copy/paste. We've considered requiring WSL (a few gig install) just to get ssh in Windows because those users have had better experiences. Thankfully, it's now built in.
