       | Several years back, I developed an education platform using
       | Apache Guacamole for a startup. Its robust functionality and high
       | level of customization made it an exceptional choice. I can only
       | imagine how much more powerful it has become since then. Kudos to
       | the devs for their invaluable contribution to the OSS community.

       | I love Guacamole (the food too). I use the software pretty much
       | every day, and have been pretty happy with it. My two main gripes
       | are 1) it doesn't auto focus login/password fields, and 2) if the
       | engine can't keep up with what's displaying on the remote screen,
       | like if a video autoplays, it introduces an enormous amount of
       | input lag, or even drops input events altogether. It makes
       | getting out of that situation rather difficult.
