"Much much much faster than RealVNC!"
Version: TightVNC 2.0.3
Pros
Solid and fast. Includes both client and server. Free and open source. Easy installation. Handles multiple simultaneous clients.
Cons
None for me.
Summary
The client is probably 5 times faster refreshing the screen. I was using RealVNC over a gigabit network and getting really slow refreshes. Switched to TightVNC client on XP and Remoter on iOS to control my Win7 HTPC (old school for sure - but it works just fine). These new clients are both much much much faster than RealVNC. Went ahead and replace RealVNC server with TightVNC server just because. It is solid and fast, too.

"Been using it for a long time."
Version: TightVNC 2.0.3
Pros
Fairly simple to operate. It has flexible installation process, & allow control over levels of remote viewing as well as remote operations each requiring their passwords. Good features.
Cons
None that I know of.
Summary
I first got familiar with TightVNC through RealVNC, which was another program, but TightVNC is the open source version. TightVNC gives you a more flexible installation process however where you can install TightVNC as a background Windows service process, or you simply avoid doing that & simply turning on TightVNC when you choose, and let it run that way manually instead of automatically in the background. Tight VNC has made good improvements in delivering features as development progressed. It's fairly simple to set up, and easy to use as I tried other similar programs. TightVNC keeps it convenient. I recommend it to anybody who need to remotely connect to a external computer whether it is fixing somebody's computer, doing work remotely away from your computer "on" your computer, or retrieving files. It's a gem of a program that fills a certain need the best I found.
