People still use it because Wayland lacks certain functionality like
network transparency (you can run X11 apps on another networked

But if you lose the network connection, all those remote apps die.
Better to use something like VNC or RDP, where the apps don’t even know
the user is at the other end of a network connection. That way you can
disconnect and reconnect from the same or different machine, and
continue using the desktop session without interruption.
X2go does that for X. It works much better than VNC/RDP because each
window is a window on your local machine, rather than everything being
constrained to a rectangular window.
The project is abandones as of last month.
