MacFusion adds GUI for MacFUSE

Google’s MacFUSE is great. It allows Mac users to take advantage of the open-source FUSE file system by mounting a variety of remote volumes (including FTP, SSH, and more) right into the OS X Finder. Unfortunately, MacFUSE does require you at certain points to use the Terminal and has other not so user-friendly aspects. Luckily, an easy-to-use GUI for MacFUSE has been released.
MacFusion is a free GUI for MacFUSE, which basically adds more ease-of-use to the program. MacFusion consolidates MacFUSE into a single menubar icon, can read/write SSH, SFTP, and FTP volumes, and has support for favorites and auto-mounting.
Right now MacFusion looks sort of premature, but it does have the potential to become an excellent app in the future.

Great idea and have been wanting this for some time but it just simply is not working!!!!
I wish it would work but its not, definitly in need of an update!
We have fixed or explained nearly all known problems, please visit the MacFusion Project http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/
and add your problem to the list of issues. I'll pick it up from there.
Version 1.1 should be public very soon. I'm using the pre-release with great success.
