On that we'll have to disagree. The RPi, particularly the 2, is an
entirely adequate computer in its own right.

Sure but the accustomed development environment (tools, documentation, version control, useful links, mail and mailinglists...) must first be installed and maintained separately. I find it much more convenient to use a single "every day" development environment for all tasks.

On the balance, particularly when one has something as capable as the RPi2, I don't. What I do find useful is being able to cut-and-paste between (programs running on) different hosts, which in practice either means running the IDE over SSH or having something running on each computer to implement a shared clipboard.
