The Air is very light and, with the SSD, very fast.
It is light computationally than other contemporary systems, but in
general it's fast enough for most people that the extreme light weight wins
out. I wouldn't recommend it as a primary development machine, though - for
that, the regular MacBook is a better choice. If you replace a MacBook's HD
with an SSD, it's much faster than the Air, but significantly heavier.
I currently have a MacBook Pro that is my everyday development machine,
and an iPad that I use for meeting, taking notes, and other light computational
tasks. Most people I know aren't developers, so I can't see why they would need
anything more than an iPad today. But for a dev machine, a MacBook Pro is the
minimum system I would recommend.
