Ugh. Really?

Ive been using iTeleport on iOS since 2010. With the removal of iTap (RDP) and Apples apparent lack of support for their Remote Desktop product on Yosemite and newer, I decided to try a different OS X client for RDP & VNC.

The interface is strangely nothing like the iOS version (Apple Remote Desktop on OS X looks more like iTeleport on iOS than iTeleport on OS X does).

The iOS version of iTeleport has a list of servers, which allows for long, descriptive names. Have a lot of servers listed? The list scrolls up and down, vertically, and is easy to use.
The OS X version of iTeleport has a weird horizontal-scrolling list of giant icons. Long server names are wrapped and look bad. Scolling can be combersome with the trackpad (you must click the slider and drag it in order to quickly see servers). Since the interface focuses on big icons instead of server names, it can be difficult to pick the correct server our of a big list. No, I dont need to see the same Desktop picture over and over and over, I want to see the server names!

The iOS version of iTeleport also has a way to easily Export and Import server lists. This makes it easy when moving from one device to another, as you can bring your list of servers with you. The OS X version of iTeleport has no such functionality.

The OS X version of iTeleport has already frozen up on me, several times. When it freezes in the middle of connecting to another OS X system, that remote system is left in a state of limbo that prevents other users from connecting to it. This is a BAD thing.
