Looks decent at a glance, but like many people, I've been using WinSCP for several years and would need solid reasons to switch - I'd really like to see a comparison to WinSCP in the readme.

From what I gather from my initial use of the tool, I think the main advantage of this tool is reduced window proliferation.

You basically have a bunch of commonly used tools that exist in one window (file browser client, terminal, rudimentary text/log viewers, etc.)

Depending on your preferences, this might have a lot of value if you're constrained by screen real estate (i.e., laptop users).

This is alot more powerful then winscp. I might compare it more closely to MobaXterm, but that is build with more of a terminal mindset. Snowflake seems to be built with more of a gui mindset. It seems pretty useful for intermediate level system admin work or developers.
