I have to strongly disagree here. My experience with remote graphical environments, even on a wired LAN, has been less than satisfying. I suspect that a large factor for me is the latency; it doesn't take much to make a GUI feel "wrong" to me while a text based interface will just feel slow but not really bother me. On top of such personal preferences, consider the overhead of running a graphical environment in every container or VM you might happen to make use of.
