Maybe not, but what is? :)
At the same time, with all this talk of passwords stored as plain text
etc, it's not a great hurdle to set up a local, encrypted loopback
device that mounts in your local file system. You could even mount it
at ~/.filezilla, and then run up FZ for the first time.
Such a device would require a password to unlock/mount, so the "window"
where unencrypted data is vulnerable could be minimised...
