I thought screen-size might be an issue, but I've settled into a workflow of mostly working inside a full-screened iTerm2, which I'm really enjoying. For that it's plenty big; with the font size I use, you can fit two 95-char editor windows side by side (or an editor window and a prompt, etc.). Obviously that particular work style won't suit everyone though. The weight difference between my old 13" MBP (4.5 lbs) and the 11" MBA (2.4 lbs) is big enough to make a difference for me since I constantly have it slung over my shoulder. It looks like they've since lightened the 13" MBP to 3.5 lbs, though, so it's not as big a difference now.
