In my case teaching my students by doing demonstrations of various Linux hosted applications, diagnostics and network investigations using classroom Windows PCs behind a very restrictive firewall connected to the classroom projector. E.G. I can demonstrate IPV6 applications and various DNS and security tests etc. which are completely unavailable on my university network. Putty, XMing and X forwarding is my friend, as is having a faster uplink on my home network than I had a couple of years ago. I also use this to access my home PC applications and email often running inside consoles. The SSH tunnel also provides for a very secure application level VPN which I can carry around with me on a USB stick and use on any Windows PC.
