The form factor of what? I could be sitting in front of Android running on a 21-inch display using a normal keyboard and mouse. And the CPU behind it might be the same one that usually runs OS X or Windows.
Guess, parent meant form factor of a typical mobile Android device. An external display and HID devices aren't mobile.
Yes, I know, one could move their phone between docks and that would be mobile, but bet this is a very rare case. If one has stationary terminals, I think it would be very unusual if they're used solely as a dock station — one's likely to also have a stationary computer attached to them.
I have a 12 inch tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, its perfectly good for content creation, it comes with an office clone that makes creating docs a snap.
I have been using a bunch of editors, and while many of them are great the mostly suffer from 3 main problems.
1. Capacity, most can handle a 200 file project, but they sieze up solid much beyond that.
2. Git and github integration is often poor, for some reason they all get ocd about dropbox and google drive integration, but fall apart on git or svn integration.
3. They need a good ssh client embedded, both to provide sftp capability, and to allow you to have one click access to your dev, staging and production servers.

Do you refer to some future possible Android or to the Android of today?
On a good day, how many people interact with Android with a mouse and without a touch screen to get real work -- programming or writing, say -- done? If your answer is more than a handful, then I'd like to ask you how you know that.
