Fred, I have plenty of customers who love the speed benefits of YFTP over Transmit or any other Mac FTP client. I don't think they are imagining it ;)
Here's a couple of examples:

The main reason YFTP achieves higher speeds is because it uses several simultaneous connections at once, so don't expect any speed improvements on a single file transfer - you won't see any. Similarly, a single folder won't see much of a speed gain, although as someone else noted, I've taken special care not to use 100% CPU while doing so ....
Anyway, time this thread closed, I think.

At the end of the day, Fred's right of course. To each his own. But for any web devs out there who find Transmit plus whatever FTP client you're using to be a little lacking, I would heartily recommend checking this one out in exactly the same spirit as I would heartily recommend TextMate to someone who isn't happy with BBEdit, Dreamweaver, etc.
You still fail to give any example where e.g. Transmit is "lacking" anything compared to YFTP. You can't write things like this without providing any evidence. I can't find anything in my quick tests or in the features list of YFTP that I'd miss in Transmit. And I don't buy their "super fast transfers" motto: In every test I tried (big files, folders with lot of files, etc.) Transmit was a bit faster.
Just saying it's "the TextMate of file transfer clients" on the TextMate list is a bit easy, don't you think?
P.S: I just noticed that *gasp* YFTP doesn't even have tabs! ;)
