But how does OS X perform for the following things:
Coding(various languages and sorts of apps)
 

Not being a coder, I can't speak to this.
Can I run linux apps on it?
 

Yes, no, sort of. Many Linux apps have OS/X versions; some apps run on 
the X11 server that can be installed on OS/X.

Also, you can go the other way; install Debian on a Mac laptop, then 
install MOL (MacOnLinux) and run OS/X on top of Debian, but there'll be 
some limitations.

I will be mainly coding on this little thing, email, and the usual 
things(research, research papers, etc)
Does anyone code on this?

On what? OS/X? an iBook? a Dell laptop, as was mentioned in the post to 
which you replied?

Am I wasting my time thinking about using this as my 
code machine for the next 4-5 years?
 

Again, what do you mean by "this". I saw no reference to any particular 
machine in the post to which you replied, except your "only other 
alternative" of an iBook.
