My co-workers spark up VNC servers on the servers here, then VNC in
and use multiple xterms to leave stuff running overnight.
Understandable to a small degree with stuff like Oracle graphical
installers, but they use it for stuff like leaving a long running
script too. I've tried to educate them about GNU screen, to no avail
:(

The boxes mostly have 12 CPUs and 128GB RAM, so resources aren't an
issue, it just feels wrong :)

Cheers,
