As it is, I find PuTTY's UI quite intuitive. It does everything that's
necessary for the large number of protocols and options it supports,
in a way that's fairly clear and concise. And while I'm sure there is
a way, I haven't found how to set up additional forwards in an ssh
session once it's already running (which PuTTY supports also)

putty -ssh -L <localport>:<remoteaddress>:80 <user>@<serveraddress>

Is an equivalent of the above command, incidentally, so you don't have
to go through the hideous installation of the whole of cygwin for a
single command.
