That's exactly what I have always done, probably because I started
doing this sort of thing before VNC existed! :-)

However I agree about display etc., it always seems a bit clunky when
using VNC.  Horses for courses though, if you want to run a number of
GUI programs remotely then VNC probably makes sense.  I tend to simply
run a couple of ssh connections to command line on the Pi and maybe
just one or two GUI programs as needed.
