I have an Eee, but I really use it more for note-taking, casual browsing, and connecting to my remote server via vnc when I want to run any real apps. The solid-state drive, and overall limited space, doesn't lend itself well to running even a test/development environment like you want to do (IMO). Also, the keyboard is really cramped, so I'm not sure how well it would work for longer-term coding sessions. For what it is (a small, cheap uber-portable), I happen to think it's great. But, it is not a desktop or laptop "replacement".
