VNC is a bit dated, doesn’t support auth as part of the protocol, and doesn’t functionally support a lot things like dynamic screen resizing, and things like stream transport of audio.
Not saying RDP is necessarily better, but it is functionally faster at least, and implementations here are open source, not the closed MS version.
