These ideas are great on paper, but in real life, don't really work. Most developers (especially senior ones) have their preferred IDE/editors/tools/etc. Forcing them to use a custom one for an interview, where they have to constantly fight memory muscle and work with a new tool is likely to give unrealistic results. Quick example (by no means the only one!): On vim insert mode, ctrl+w deletes a word. On a browser, it closes the tab. It's really hard for me avoid memory muscle jumping in and closing a tab. TBH, I simply cannot code python on a browser textfield, since I end up closing the tab sooner or later. Screen sharing works great, and has really no drawbacks.
