The big things that would prevent me from using an iPad for work are:
- No window management. No multiple screens. Can't have docs, IDE, browser and Slack open at the same time, for example. Bad crouched-down seating position as a result.
- Text selection sucks on tablets in general.
- Can't install developer tools locally; you're forced to work over SSH. Can't work on a plane, or wherever there's spotty WiFi
- No good IDEs. For PHP, I like PHPStorm, for example. Don't know if web-based IDEs are any good though.
