In the linux world I work on, a very large percentage of the developers are frequently unknowingly running X via ssh tunnels. Its just to convenient to be able to run the graphical version of tools on the remote dev/test machine than to live all day long restricted only to the GUI tools on your local machine and a terminal session.
The one place that X could use some updating is all the sync method calls, that unlike RDP become quite slow if the network connection has any real latency.

I wouldn't say the one place, but it is a pain point. (And actually, many of the supposedly synchronous things are not synchronous at the protocol level, but at the C library binding level -- xlib. Nowadays there's a much closer to the protocol binding: libxcb.)
