Nope. I've used linux since the 1990s. Was friends with the founders of LinuxCare, met Torvalds. blah blah blah... Since semi-retire from ops... and basically using windows for a few years without need to manage a linux box, youd be FN surprised how quickly basic knowledge evaporate at my age when not in use. I had to fn lookup how to add my keys to a box again. (After a 3-month long panel-interview with Google's Net Eng Team back in the day - my final panel question was: "OK how do you do a global search and replace in VI?" I *blanked* -- and I stated... "UH.... I'cant recall - id just google it" They all laughed. --- @OP -- look at the remote SSH extension in VSCode/Positron etc... Its a really good little file/function/SSH manager. Though Ill take a look at this.

If the issue is forgetting basic commands / configuration options then how does swapping one tool for another help? You'll just forget how to use the second tool instead.

  The second tool could be more user friendly, thus easier to remember how to use it. Compare how this tool makes you generate a key vs the syntax of ssh-keygen.

Worth a chuckle from me too. I could and do type that all day, muscle memory. Verbalize it? Not a chance. There's a % in there somewhere. There does seem to be a subset of questions that are really just "have you repeatedly used this tool in the last few months?". If you have, you'll probably be fast.
