And all of those iOS developers have somehow gotten along just fine without doing their development on an iOS device.

This thread is about using an iPad as a laptop replacement which no developer can do if they want to develop for Mac/IOS so what is your point?

You seemed to be arguing that Apple was at risk of losing its developers for iPad if it didn't make it suitable as a development platform. That's not plausible.

You seem to be responding to a higher-level comment saying "developers are not the target audience" with "but it's not suitable for developers", which... yeah?
