The development model for FileZilla sucks compared to most other GUI FTP
programs.

It does a lot of screwy things. I can't properly transfer stuff to or
from many "standard" ftp servers... including a couple of "FileZilla FTP
Daemons".

Though Filezilla is a very nice Idea, it is aimed at Microsoft Visual
Studio development, though it does compile on Linux, it is a very filthy
code base.
