True, TightVNC is definitely usable and reasonably responsive even at modem speeds. However, the flickers and delays are very noticable even on a high-speed LAN, and there is an unmistakable feeling of clunky rendering. Also, VNC doesn't have a rootless mode. At least for me, this means it's a good remote-access solution but a rotten choice for a primary work environment.
