As have I, and Xdmcp (see Subject title). But both are a lot less
efficient, and have less applications than X2Go.

Cafe hipsters? (I'm not going to comment on the Ubuntu um, silliness)
Don't forget those that have the luxury of high speed internet
connections and/or high powered computers, which most of the world
*doesn't* have - both of which are base requirements if you want to use
X forwarding for graphically intensive remote displays. The alternatives
like using HTML5 have considerable advantages without the limitations
and failings of X forwarding.
