Same here, for me it is a gimmick without much value over a screen sharing session.

I disagree.

For example, in vscode if the sharer start a http-service the port can be port forwarded through the session so anyone in the session can interact with the service.

Pretty neat and useful!

I find it as interesting as mob programming.

Anyone can interact with common team servers.

It is one of those things that developer advocates love to show at conferences.

Maybe I'm opening the lid to the industry's best-kept secret, but every team I've worked on used SSH with a shared tmux session for pairing. There are probably more complex tools that cover every use case, but I never encountered much demand for one.

That is pretty cool, I didn't know about that. I could see it being useful in some niche circumstances.
