Does everyone here just suffer from exceptionally shitty IT departments? I've used Citrix for years and not experienced any of the chronic issues described here. Remember Citrix was developed in the 1990s... the days of Windows NT 3.5/4.0 [1] & Dial-Up connections and to be able to function well in these low bandwidth environments (we're talking kilobits here people, a 10 Mbps LAN was considered glorious at the time). For years ICA was superior to RDP due to its better compression over such connections. It sounds more like whoever setup your environments didn't know what he was doing and the results are what you would expect.

Citrix performance can depend a lot on the apps - older win32 apps work really well as the object caching masked the latency on windows and buttons. Newer apps seem to somehow make the caching not very effective.
