If you can't get people to switch for security reasons, you'd think you'd be able to get them to switch for usability reasons. Telnet is painful in the extreme to use for anything but live, interactive sessions. Bah. Ssh is so much simpler to use, and has so many more capabilities, that it's a no-brainer even leaving security aside (which, of course, should be enough for everyone anyway).

Windows ships with a telnet client, but not an SSH client. Also, many devices (e.g. IOS based ones) ship with telnet servers installed, but not SSH. That's why telnet is still used.
