Having used said virtual whiteboards - they suck. Most of ‘whiteboarding’ is the low lag communication, body language, ease of just ‘doing something’ by hand. In my experience, the connection issues, lack of ability to get good fidelity in communication, random glitches and other issues, just ruins the majority of it.
Not having a terrible commute or paying 10x the national average for a closet to live in are definitely a strong plus in the other column though for sure.
For me, whiteboards are worthless. I have zero artistic skills, bad handwriting, and my thought processes are not particularly visual. When I have to participate, I usually just stand at the board and talk, and never draw anything.
For capturing bullet points, and other terse text, a Google doc is far superior.
