I've had DSL (slow with only 192kbit) and Cable (fast 3mbit) at home and use my machine from work (about 40mi away, broadband obviously). And yes, my home machine is quite powerful, so that I do mind to run the VNC Server (which is nothing but another X server) on it.

I found the key to better responsiveness was to use SSH Compression.

So, anyway, you use the best tool for the job, no need to evangalize over it (not saying you did...). For all of my usage patterns I found VNC/SSH-Compression to be superior.
