I have to disagree
enabling ssh is a simple process Samba takes a lot of preparation &
configuration

when your main computers are also Linux (I don't have windows at home)
ssh is a no brainer because of all of the features it enables besides
remote administration,  scp, X-forwarding & sshfs even enables the
mounting of remote directories.

it is a shame that it is no-longer enabled by default but that was
unfortunately a necessary concession to security.
