I occasionally use `scp` around my network and have for years. It works great and its simple interface is easy to remember. I don't want to sftp if I have to use tar on both sides. I might type rsync and but then I remember something about the trailing slash will cause the command to behave differently the second time. I just don't need yet another syntax I'll misremember. As long as scp is in my distro's repositories, I'll be using it.
