I remember when it came out and a few coworkers at the time had seriously considered swapping to an iPad because of it, but ended up getting MacBook Airs instead.

It’s surprising how 7 years has gone by and using an iPad for development is still facing the same problems.

>using an iPad for development is still facing the same problems.

I don't know if the App Store customizes what it shows people based on the apps they have installed, but for the past few weeks they've been showing me "Get starting with programming" apps and stories on the App Store and it's always the same "Scratch for kids" or "Swift playgrounds" or Udemy videos or something. Apple seems to be pushing programming on an iPad quite hard, but they're not doing anything to make it any easier or more productive. It's weird.
