    Apple's native VNC / Screen Sharing client app.
    If all you need is a client that just works and isn't bloated with a infinite chaos of worthless options, this is surely a way to go, and free ;) . If you need something a little bit more customizable, try Jollysfast VNC Client

    Great VNC client. Straightforward, simple, and reliable. The application ScreenSharingMenulet is something great to use with this application. =)

    Screen Sharing is a very useful application. I use it nearly every day to connect to my other computers without even having to go over to them. Need a remote file on your other computer? No problem. Simply enable Screen Sharing on the remote computer and connect to it via your Wifi network. It really couldn't be any easier.

    The Snow Leopard version is a bit annoying to quit, but four-finger swipe will fix that.

    Sitting at dining room table, I can help my wife on her iMac (sitting about 10 feet from me), change the videos playing on the TV (powered by a Mac Mini), and control the eMac in the basement while it imports old videos from VHS tapes and I can keep an eye on my kid and friends via the iSight plugged into that computer -- all without leaving my spot at the dining room table.

    Like all things Mac, it just works. It may not be as feature-rich as alternatives, but the ease of use and cost (built into the OS) makes it a very valuable tool.

    Lacks on the feature side, but for the price of free and being included in OSX you can't beat it.

    Screen Sharing could do with a few more features. There used to be some hidden features that could be enabled via Terminal but Apple took them out, which was a shame because I used to use them a lot. That being said, Screen Sharing does the job nicely, it beats getting up and walking from one side of the house to the other and back again multiple times. The interface is simple but it could be more immersive. I'd like to be able to change the volume on the shared Mac with the volume keys on my keyboard and the only way of switching applications on the shared Mac is to use the Dock, which doesn't work well over a network. Performance is pretty good, of course that mostly depends on what network you're using. Price, Screen Sharing is included with Leopard so effectively, it's free.
