Not so sure that the average hacker/IT pro/office user spends enough time away from a power source for this to be an issue. A flight from London to Johannesburg is 9 hours, and even there you're not using it the entire time.
If you need more battery than the Surface Pro provides I'd love to know what your average day looks like.

Second, with a mobile device, its a pain to always have to remember to plug in when you have the opportunity. I have power outlets in my house, but that doesn't mean I want to be tethered to a cord when I'm working on my couch. The way I use my iPad or MBA is to throw it in my briefcase and use it intermittently and ideally not plug it in for a week. The better the battery life and the lower the idle power draw, the less likely it is that you'll have to find a power cord when its inconvenient.
