Camino doesn't. The Camino site itself says that because it is built for OS X, it is not as customizable as Firefox. Netscape, OTOH, works exactly like Firefox but without the same amount of resources used. The reason I use Netscape is because it uses Firefox add-ons. Camino doesn’t.

Most don't find it real useful and there used to be a permissions bug that made it almost useless. But Leopard may have fixed some of that. Can't hurt to try. It may be that a folder of aliases will do the job. Oh yeah, the FInder will also mount an FTP server.

I'm not sure what you find "clunky" but the local bookmarks thing may be related. When I use Transmit I close the local side of the interface and just drag between the Finder and the remote side. I also like the column view option, which is a lot more useful with only the remote side showing.Maybe useful, maybe not. RE: Transmit–I like it a lot.
