VNC just sends regular screen grabs to the client so you can see

client is mirrored on the console at the server. This is more than a
little agricultural and very slow. Also, I think VNC servers are
limited to one connection at a time.
If you're trying to remotely access a Windows box or Mac OS box it's
great because those operating systems don't allow remote GUI logins
but best avoided if you have the option of an X11 session.

My experience with VNC does not exhibit these characteristics:
The server is silent with regard to "Everything you do in the client is
mirrored on the console at the server."
VNC sends pixel updates over the network. It does not need to be slow
- if you have a bandwidth limited network it is good to not do things
like have a gradiated desktop background. Why? VNC just sends the
changed pixels over the network so if the desktop is updating itself
constantly you gobble up a lot of network bandwidth. I find VNC to be
very similar to a dedicated Xterminal, You are correct in saying that
the Xsession itself runs on the server.
I do not believe that there is a limit on the number of VNC
server/client sessions you can run simultaneously
YMMV

Real men use run level 3 only, drink Jack Daniels and shave with

ROTFLMAO! Well said!
Now we need to compose an analogous list for the Real Women among us
(hmmm... might include *not* shaving certain limbs).
Best wishes,
