Opening port 3389 to the internet is a very bad idea. If you are desperate enough to need RDP exposed to the internet at least use port redirection from an obscure port number to 3389

If set to encrypted and with a strong password policy why not?
It's no less secure than SSH if patched correctly. And more secure than many 3rd party remote access applications.

As for security by obscurity, that's no security at all. The lamest script-kiddy can find out what port RDP is on.
