A better mousetrap
Not much innovation in this category but tightVNC just does it better than the other utilities out there. Much faster SSH access than others that I have used.

More feature rich than RealVNC
There are a few contenders in this arena but Tight VNC is one of the frontrunners. the number of features available is much more than the rest. Is easy to install and more secure to work with.
UltraVNC is another such application, though TightVNC seems to be more in news than the former.

TightVNC has been used in quite a few applications one of them being the in news CrossLoop which is a screen share utility using TightVNC.
