I've used share terminals (through things like tmux and screen) before. That works well with very little lag since you're sharing text updates, so if you're happy using terminal editors and tools, that could work?

I use Tmux and Tmate pretty extensively, with ngrok for forwarding. The barrier to entry is pretty high; and then the level of customization that most people set in their CLI editors means it's difficult for random pair partners to hop in and start going.

I tend to run my vim as neutral as possible ( show line numbers, auto-indent, but that's about it) which helps; but it still has a lot of non-network related friction :(
