I wrote this because I had told a few people I can use an iPad for work and they asked me to write up the details because they would like to do it. A quick Google search shows quite a bit of interest in using tablets instead of laptops. I think I clearly made the point that this won’t work for a lot of people, and iOS gets close to a good developer experience but has some frustrating issues.
Haters gonna hate, the subject doesn’t even matter. If I wrote about my favorite work chair I would get replies about better chairs and lectures about how I should stand or walk on a treadmill. If I wrote about my motorcycle a lot of people would tell me what a piece of crap I ride. When I switched from a Macbook to the Chromebook Pixel, after a lot of research, I was told by other developers that I couldn’t work on a Chromebook.
That's really cool people were interested in reading about how you do it! I always have a fascination about how other people live their lives and that includes setups and other such things.
I enjoy my Pixel LS so much, it really is an incredible machine. It has some pains for development work, but for me the pros outweigh the cons. I just really don't like MacOS or Windows because they get in my way. Chrome OS doesn't get in my way.
