I think all from posted by you remote dev envs fill other use-case and niche.
- "Code with me" is a Zoom/Google Meet with a code sharing.
- "Projector" provides Web view alongside of typical desktop-app IDE sharing. If you need example, there was a nice submission week ago that touches that topic [0].
- "Editing by SSH" - way another niche. Connect via SSH to remote machine, edit and synchronize your changes over the SSH. Nothing new, I guess Python and PHP devs love to use it. I have been recently using it, while I was tinkering with Raspberry Pi.
- "Remote development" or some kind "developer-machine-as-a-service" idea (JetBrains Space / Gateway), which is close to Projector, with a difference the machines are rented or managed by the company (burst usage). Ironically, it is nice idea even for small companies (<150), where employees were given low-spec PCs or some cheapest M1 laptops. All problems with CPU compatibility or other limitations to resources are solved by using a beefy remote machine.
For a person who used various way of remote coding in my life. I think all of those are complementary and I don't see any burden there. I hope they will keep and improve them over next years.
