I would think that depends on the expectations.
I have both an iPad Pro and a MacBook Pro. For development and many other tasks I prefer the MacBook Pro.
For some tasks I prefer the iPad Pro. But there are things I don't like about the iPad (some because of its particular software/hardware and some because of the device class). So I would agree with some of the points.
I find text editing on the iPad screen to be difficult. The screen also gets dirty and needs to be cleaned. The keyboard is bulky.
