If you want to write things like words and sentences, doing it on mobile phones or tablets sucks. Bluetooth keyboards and mice and their intermittent connections to phones and tablets also suck.

The same holds true for programming. Writing code on phones and tablets suck. What sucks even more is that Android's primary programming language is Java, yet it's harder to develop and run Java code in Android than it is to write Perl, Python, JavaScript and Ruby.

I even wrote C++ on an Android tablet. It was a pain in the ass, but I did it. Those languages that aren't Java are "easier," but the experience remains poor.

Even though I use a few Google Chrome "apps" for programming-like tasks (Secure Shell, which is pretty good; and Text, which is super-rudimentary), even a Chromebook is better than a tablet or phone.

Right now my laptop is so nice, I hate using my desktop computer at the office. Now it's screen seems blurry (because it is), and I hate the standard-issue Lenovo keyboard. That's a backwards way of saying that I like a nice laptop keyboard. It has to "click" a bit, meaning it can't be too mushy.

I can certainly see (and am seeing) laptops that incorporate tablet/phone hardware and software. I would absolutely welcome the "intents" present in Android apps that allow you to easily share content from one app to another. Windows now has an app store, though most of what's in it is shit. (I do like the Fitbit app for Windows, though.)

Tangents be dammed. To make things with words, you need a proper keyboard.
