I've been trying to replace my MBP with iPad since the original and almost have a viable solution with the iPad Pro and the Razer Mechanical keyboard case except for two main things:
- Integration between apps is still not there. There's some good code editors out there with syntax highlighting and project based but none support git. There's some good git clients but there is no workable path between them and your coding environment without intermediaries like Dropbox etc, and none that share the concept of a project. You are at the mercy of the developers to support everything you need or to integrate with another (possibly third party) app. On MacOS there is always the lowest common denominator, the terminal which can glue any workflow together.
- The combination of iPad Pro and keyboard is bigger and thicker than a 13" MBP. Which would I rather take then...
- lazerwalker 9y agoIs the size bit true if you're using an Apple Magic Keyboard instead of a mechanical keyboard? I'm certainly not one to fault you for using a nice keyboard, but that does make it a bit of an apples and oranges comparison.
- rahoulb 9y agoI really enjoy using Textastic with Working Copy - you can mount your git repo from Working Copy as a folder, edit in Textastic, then commit and push via Working Copy. This (exposing your internal file-system as a mount point) is available to all apps, since iOS 10 - it's just only Working Copy and Textastic that seem to support it.
