Is there anything archived online on why they think so?

Also, if Nomachine's NS is supposedly flawed, I suppose the same  remarks can be made on FreeNX?
So FreeNX would also never make it into Main?

I agree NX is a very functional piece of technology. I tend to allways compare it to the Windows Terminal Server / Citrix stack which is very popular in enterprise.
NX might help a lot to get the Linux Desktop pushed into enterprise, but that'll only work is a freely available version is available in the repositories.
