IntelliJ's "Code With Me" plugin still has a long way to go but is really good already: On the "client side", it feels like working in your own IDE (sometimes, you run into "not implemented yet" spots, but for the most part it just works) with zero latency, HiDPI resolution and a color scheme of your liking. Plus, you can work independently (all participants can type at the same time), look stuff up if your pairing partner scrolls too quickly (or too slowly) and you can even share a terminal (if you want) and run tests on the "host". There is also built-in port forwarding, so that you can run a webapp in your local browser.

I don't understand why you are trying to convince me that Code With Me is a solution since I precisely mentioned it in my post with everything that, imo, lacks in it (and in all the "live edit" collaboration tools).

Those tools cannot work, IMO, because programming never happens only in the IDE.
