Description

Perhaps the only missing aspect of the VisualEditor is that it should be a real-time editor (Google Docs style).

The potential benefits are significant: allowing users to edit content simultaneously while saving changes in real time could foster more efficient collaboration, leading to higher-quality articles and an improved user experience.

Of course this would mean a fairly extensive internal deployment that I'm not familiar with, but if we're talking about moving the needle forward, I think this sort of thing would be ONE of those things to change or improve.
