In my experience, Android MTP worked semi-reliably on Windows (I'd often encounter "ghost files" which couldn't be renamed or accessed, since MTP and Android's media cache desynced from the underlying Linux filesystem), and often failed entirely on Linux (trying to open the phone hung or caused the Linux MTP daemon to crash immediately or after some time). I much prefer adb push/pull, which has always been rock-solid as long as adb can see your phone.

Seriously I have utterly no idea why no one has bothered to create a new protocol that is designed with the capabilities and capacities of modern devices in mind, not with "fits for managing a 256MB-sized MP3 player or a point and click consumer camera with a 2 GB SD card".
