Does anyone genuinely use X11 remotely?

If not daily, then several times per week.

Various use cases:
1) Running a remote browser on a headless server when you're trying to poke at
configuration webservice that's only listening on localhost.
2) SSH tunneling a browser on a remote server to poke at something on the
non-routable network
3) Presenting apps at work from home desktop or vice-versa depending on what I'm
doing.
4) Various for-fun nonsense involving old computers, which is only tangentially
relevant here.
