Microsoft built such a nice remote pair programming tool in VSCode 🙂

too bad that IntelliJ has nothing similar 😏

I do like VS Code Live Share. I think it's an essential feature for IntelliJ.

Sad that a tool that has been around for decades has to wait and then copy a vendor that’s only just come back to this market. Even Pages has live editing capabilities now.

We've tried VS Code Live share feature and it's not really pleasant experience except for hello-world or tutoring.

The main issue: only the code is shared. No documentation popups, no source code navigation mirroring, no folder sync, no console sync. We've tried several times, but eventually rolled back to shared screen with optional input control. It's not ideal, but it works.
I've also tried Live Share for Jupyter Notebook programming, and it's not even sufficient for that task, because I was unable to see notebook output.

Have you tried Tuple? the problem with screensharing is that whoever is driving, the other person cannot even perform a search.
