While I agree that ssh -Y requires a somewhat fast connection, VNC works at 10 MBit/s. RDP and XDPA works at 3 MBit/s. And if the speed is lower, then typically it also implies a high latency. Then I have found that running a GUI remotely via xpra gives a better experience than running an editor with IDE features under ssh and tmux. I suspect XPRA protocol simply has less round trips than a terminal IO as the latter was never designed for high-latency links.
