You are mistaken to think this has anything to do with opinions. Telnet was written for a prior world where traffic wasn't sniffed, networks were small and mostly known, etc. SSH is designed from the ground up to be as secure as possible in a completely unknown environment. An example of an opinion: Red is a nicer color than blue. An example of an indisputable fact: SSH is as secure as possible, telnet is as insecure as possible. Look, think of telnet as a horse. 200 years ago, you would have been well off riding a horse into battle. Nowadays, you'd be an idiot. Some guy in a tank would just shoot you for sport. Now, you could argue that a horse is a fine animal to ride into battle, people have done it for ages, some still do, and that's your opinion and why doesn't anybody respect it. But you'd be a fool. You need your own tank, and SSH is a tank.
