The fact that they have near daily updates (Basically every time i turn on filezilla, there is a new client), I am extremely surprised that they wouldn't handle feature requests promptly. Look at the decisions Firefox has made recently, I consider some of them to be sabotage, vandalism.
It is a personality clash between the owners of two projects. The problem is when that ego leads him (99% are male) to leave unnecessary deficiencies in the "product"? I'm running an old linux distribution on a machine in my internal network because an important tool was updated around 18 months ago to remove support for something I use a lot. I don't use FileZilla and never have, but for me the whole sordid tale raises a question mark against projects of this kind: Any project of this nature is substantially ego driven, the programmer is donating time and energy to provide a service. Oh, the person who forked the project had suffered a breach where the lack of this feature was a major contributing factor. He has rejected patches from third parties trying to fix the deficiency, something which finally led to the fork a year or so ago. Naming the developer is less of a deal here than you think - he has been notorious for years because of his stance on this matter. In November 2016, a user frustrated with Koose's stance forked the FileZilla FTP client and added support for a master password via a spin-off app called FileZilla Secure. All their requests have fallen on deaf ears and met with refusal from FileZilla maintainer, Tim Kosse. Users have been requesting this feature for a decade, since 2007, and they have asked it many and many times since then. The move is extremely surprising, at least for the FileZilla user base.
"This feature is scheduled to arrive in FileZilla 3.26.0, but you can use it now if you download the 3.26.0 (unstable) release candidate from here." By encrypting its saved FTP logins, FileZilla will finally thwart malware that scrapes the sitemanager.xml file and steals FTP credentials, which were previously stolen in plain text. An anonymous reader writes: "Following years of criticism and user requests, the FileZilla FTP client is finally adding support for a master password that will act as a key for storing FTP login credentials in an encrypted format," reports BleepingComputer.
