RDM, mRemoteNG, XShell, RoyalTS, SecureCRT, MobaXterm and others. Head spinning, let's figure it out. What do you advise?

Good day. The essence of the question is as follows:
I tried all the above products, superficially, but nonetheless. As a result, something in one product does not suit, then in another something is wrong.
In fact, I'm looking for a manager with the following matches:
- Platform: Windows/Mac;
- Nimble, responsive interface, without unnecessary zhora RAM;
- Support for the main protocols SSH, RDP, SFTP, SCP (support for the rest will be a plus);
- Structuring sessions by folders. Storing the entire database in one file (like KeePass for example);
- Support for database import/export;
- Availability of auxiliary network tools or cygwin (ping/nslookup/traceroute/bash);
- Ability to autosave SSH output to a separate file (log);
- Support for SSH keys for authorization:
- Ability to create an SSH tunnel and raise a local SOCKS5 proxy;
- Convenient, two-pane file manager for SCP / SFTP (or like MobaXterm);
- Support for macros;
Now let's take a quick look at the above products:
Remote Desktop Manager- a lot of functionality, connection methods including all sorts of Xen, vSphere, etc., but heavy to the point of impossibility, slows down almost everything (and this is on i7-6700, 16gb ram, ssd samsung evo). The interface is loaded in blocks, pop-up windows are rendered with a delay, even text input in the terminal (SSH) slows down as if I'm sitting through a VPN located somewhere in the USA (through Putty everything is in order, I checked). The file manager for SCP is one-sided, you can simply select the file you want to download, but where it is not indicated, by default it seems to be thrown into the home folder, in general it is inconvenient or I misunderstood something. Even the SSH tunnel falls off if I start using the socks5 proxy through the browser (I tried both the portable and standalone versions, it didn’t help, the error is generally muddy judging by the logs and has no answer in Google).In fact: inhibition is the most annoying.
mRemoteNG - I used it for a long time, I remember it as a rather primitive one. Maybe I'm wrong.
RoyalTS - slightly better than RDM'a in terms of interface speed, but in general the same brake. The file manager is also kind of miserable.
XShell is good, I really liked it. Fast, smart, does its job, but no more (there is no RDP, and if it were, I bought 2 licenses at once).
SecureCRT is about the same as XShell, with its own peculiarities. RDP not found.
MobaXterm - everything seems to be there, but it looks somehow not serious. One gets the impression that the project will close soon.
Comrades, the above opinion about the products does not pretend to be an objective answer. I understand that each product has its own advantage, its purpose and settings. I'm not looking for a unidirectional tool. I need a combine that will provide all the features rolled into one.
But at the same time, I found this opinion on the Toaster:
>Normal sysadmins do not use combines. (Sergey)
Is there an analogue of Remmina for Windows?
I wonder why? Please comment on this position, I would very much like to know your opinion.

not right. in general, the most convenient of all. the only negative is that it can crash suddenly when connected to the next machine via RDP.
as a result, for RDP I use RDCMan - stability, convenience at 4.
for SSH - mRemoteNG. 5 in all respects.

I use mRemoteNG. There are no problems with either SSH or RDP.

I am exclusively for MobaXterm! Although it is paid, but there is very sane support, which out of 3 requests for improvements fulfilled all 3. Very nice! It won't close anywhere.

I don't like Remmina in linux either. In Linux - a menu with XTerm for ssh and xfreerdp for Windows, in Windows - XShell for ssh and RDP for Windows.
And there is no need to complicate where it is not necessary to complicate.
SecureCRT was a great project, but died a long time ago
The best ssh client for Windows is AbsoluteTelnet
