The people I've read who have successfully gone iPad-only seems to fall into two categories: Authors/bloggers who could just as well be served by a 1980's word processor, and those who use it as a very expensive dumb terminal in either SSH or the web browser.

This is me, 100%.

I use Blink to MOSH into a remote server for all of my personal dev work. It's great. Between MOSH (instead of plain SSH) and LTE, I really feel like the expense is justified.
