I have a lot of experience pair programming and I definitely find that minimizing the friction to switch driver is a huge deal. Especially when knowledge-sharing or mentoring across experience divides, being able to take over for a few seconds but then fluidly hand control back just makes it not feel like a big deal for either person. In non-remote jobs I would always set up my station with two keyboards and two mice for this reason. Now that I work remote I always keep VS code configured for the codebase and use it for pairing. Even though my personal editor is, yes, emacs.
