Cons
Con Too many variations of clients and servers (apps) and paid subscriptions to choose from for different scenarios
There's a host of downloads involved. It shouldn't be so complex to decide what software to download because of their respective services or featuresets. It should just be one client and one server with options to turn on or off different feature sets.
Con Undocumented features
X2Go have very interesting features but they are not documented, or they are poorly documented, which makes difficult to use.
