I really can't see using this for quick fixes when I am highly mobile. A better solution for me is Sublime Text on my Macbook Air. http://www.sublimetext.com/

I'd further add that if you're a dev type, and expected to remotely fix stuff, that you'd have a laptop anyway. Can't see doing anything more than fixing a typo on the iPad...in which case, I'm sure a SSH app is all that's needed.

Having a local editor for remote files is super handy if your SSH is flaky for whatever reason (say, you fall off LTE into 1x or GPRS land), regardless of the device you're on. Never mind being able to take advantage of the touch screen...

I don't know if I'll be getting Coda 2, but Diet Coda looks incredible. I find that the iPad is a nice supplement to my workflow, particularly when I have to be really mobile (this means iPad and smartphone only). I have a few good writing workflow (http://interchangeproject.org/2012/05/08/my-ipad-setup/) but I don't have a mobile coding workflow that works for me yet.

The biggest thing I'd be using Diet Coda for would be fixing small issues on the go.

I hope this it it.

You're a programmer and can't afford a laptop?

(serious question for the folks who seem to need to do development on an iPad)

It isn't a question of cost, it is a question of comfort.

When you get an iPad you realize laptops have instantly become less useful. iPads fit into a tiny bag, they have crazy battery life, and they can do many things as well as a desktop. It is a no brainer to carry them with you instead of a laptop, as they do 90% of the things you need a computer for very well.

Having a nice text editor/FTP program would be greatly welcomed.

I would consider this if they fix the iPad keyboard or use something custom.

On the iPad doing a simple PHP statement is difficult as you have switch between keyboards so frequently.
