Why use a web interface when you can use Visual Studio Code with Live Share? https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2017/11/15/live-share

Simply beacuse not everybody uses VS Code ;) Of course if the whole team uses VS Code the Live share function is way more powerful of my simple tool and i recommend using that :)

Actually one service I do use a bit is https://godbolt.org/ a C++ compiler explorer. It would be nice if their editor could work collaboratively.

You can share snippets there but can't edit them with another person.

Small correction - live share is also available for & compatible with Visual Studio.

Every company that has built this over the last 20 years has eventually shut down, and it's not like they didn't execute on the vision well; their products were incredibly good and mature. Do you see that the market has changed, or is there something you're doing that's different? I guess it's not immediately obvious to me why this and now.

You should be able to make it compatible with VSCode, I believe the protocol powering Live Share is public and VSCode's goal is to make it cross-IDE compatible.
