Vim is for coding. How does this work out on the iPad?

With a bluetooth keyboard and a charging dock or a stand, iPad is a great platform for Vim coding.

Does one edit remote files locally, and compile/run remotely? (the benefit is the editing feels instant - no keystroke latency.)

With Dropbox support this would be possible.

Or has Apple let up on the "no coding for you!" iPad/iPhone terms?

There is no such term. The term used to be that you cannot bundle a compiler with your app, but even that has been lifted recently with Lua interpreter embedded in many games.
