You've inspired me to write a counterpoint - I tried the same, and for a pretty large set of things I do day-to-day, the Raspberry Pi has been working well. So much so that I am currently engaged in an internal debate on whether or not I should purchase a more powerful machine to use as a desktop. The only real deficit to me is that initial compiles of Rust code can take a while. A vast amount of CPU / Memory is available for pennies on an EC2 instance, so it comes down to convenience and psychology, really.
