One thing that I miss from FireFTP is the ability to run multiple FTP connections to multiple servers at one time, but at least FireFTP has an easy-to-use account switcher. I maintain a few hobby websites of my own and I find myself connecting with FTP somewhat frequently - anywhere from once every few days to multiple times in one day.
