In terms of an interface, unless we can come up with something vastly superior to a keyboard, it's not going away. The keyboard is pretty intuitive and extremely explicit (if I press the A key, there's no confusion about what I meant to press) I'm not so sure about what will happen to the mouse though, it's a bit more abstracted compared to the keyboard and I reckon touch interfaces will be the norm soon enough. In terms of what the rig would be, currently I do all my development on a virtual machine, SSHing into it and using vim. I think our desktops and laptops could become thin clients and we'll do all of our work on remote machines that are "in the cloud"
