A legit reason, but somewhat void if on an internal network behind big firewalls
The key word is "somewhat". The question is not whether there are attackers on your network, but how many.
But SSH's security mechanisms win over VNC.
It's not SSH's security mechanism, rather X11's - and that's exactly where it starts to break apart. :(
And running VNC through ssh -L gets into the realm of "more security means less usability". Hrrm - probably pick RDP over VNC?
Some VNCs can do encryption natively, and port forwarding isn't really that big of an issue (with several users each running their own Xvnc it might get a bit trickier).
