Why does Code With Me require me to download an entire copy of the Idea CE client to join someone's session?

[CLOVIS]

Because it's not actually IDEA CE, it's just the UI. Everything else isn't in the binary, it delegates everything to the remote session.

AFAIR it's possible to use the session link directly from IntelliJ IDEA's Code with me ("join session"), and not download anything
