I like it better than VNC or RDP, especially on a fast network.
Those others I think get it wrong with their "whole desktop" sharing. The experience of having X clients streamed as they are launched and the local WM gets to manage decorations - I like that model a lot more, for say the scenario where I ssh into a machine and launch a GUI program.
RDP is much faster than X. It had the benefit of being designed later I guess.
VNC usually feels laggier than X to me somehow. As if there is a cursor sync issue.

These are just my observations as a user.
