RDP, courtesy of various licensed Citrix technology, is world's above so many other technologies: I can RDP to a desktop running thousands of miles away over the internet with better performance and responsiveness than VNCing to the Mac sitting 10 feet away, over a 1Gbps twisted pair. I am not exaggerating for effect, but after being spoiled by RDP, VNC is close to unusable.

It is unfortunate that close to no attention is paid to this element.

Have you had opportunity to try NoMachine? I knew them as the NX people - they seem to be giving their tech away these days.

NX (also check X2GO, OpenNX etc) is very good and it's as fast as RDP. Much, much better than VNC.
