Quite a lot.  In universities in crowded city centers, it is quite
common to have students work on (fan-less) X terminals, with a large
server pool hidden somewhere in the basement.  (Nowadays, the servers
are fairly ordinary PCs running Linux, with a few Solaris machines to
make the older system administrators happy.)

A lot of us also prefer ``ssh -X'' to webmail and other workarounds.

OTOH, having a well-defined interface between the display subsystem and
the rest of the system forces us to keep our interfaces clean.
