If there are N of them, it's (N-1) too many.  Reminiscent of the Bad Old Days, 
when every application had its own printer drivers and its own fonts.

Gil,

I hope you're not serious here.  Only one ssh client because having more than 
one is disruptive?  Sorry, you're stuck with Internet Explorer version 1 
because there can only be 1 and everybody has to use it.  Where's the incentive 
- or even the chance - for innovation?  I know my example is taking it to the 
extreme but our entire industry is built on competition of ideas.
