Be that as it may, but, uh...... When I PuTTY into a Linux box or, on a linux box, type "ssh me@sweetbox", I don't see any clutter. It's pretty sparse and simple - just a brief prompt and a blinking cursor. I don't even know how it could become more than that... I think it speaks volumes about the progress of iOS apps (and iOS in general) towards being a usable computer that a SSH client is exciting.

Right, because with PuTTY on your Linux box, you don't need a virtual keyboard on the screen. Most of the complexity is off-screen. Touch devices don't have that luxury. Now imagine PuTTY with a virtual keyboard built in and you start to see some clutter.
