Have you guys reported this to Filezilla?

I remember this issue being mentioned on the filezilla forums way back in 2008. If I remember, the developer's retort was, if I may say so, somewhat defensive and less than polite in at least one posting. This was my personal impression anyway. I believe his argument is that OS and/or the user is responsible for security, which is why Filezilla has been storing passwords unencrypted in plaintext for the last few years. Please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.
