We have different thoughts then. Especially since I now use FTP so infrequently, I wanted something very minimal. There just weren't any clients like that - XP style definitely isn't clean/minimal. I don't care too much about being well used, tested, and reliable if I don't like it.

I think your definition of minimal doesn't really match everyone else in this threads'. Opening up an entire chromium runtime just to manage FTP seems incredibly _not_ minimal to me. Filezilla, for it's somewhat outdated look and myriad of options is substantially more lightweight than anything that requires a whole web browser.
