Have you upgraded to latest Ubuntu with Unity? It's pretty clear that
Canonical sees where things might be going in the consumer space.
Yes, I've been using Unity since 10.10. The problem, IMHO, is that
Canonical see things, but can't implement them properly and quickly. I
expected Unity in 11.04 to be much more developed than it is. Also,
consider that Ubuntu doesn't have the cool things that makes the market
(cool, but useless in my opinion, still I'm not the average buyer).
Mobile computing power is growing ridiculously (the Galaxy S II phone
that I just ordered comes with dual-core Cortex-A9 1.2GHz!) and they
are working on the quad-core Cortex-A15 running at up to 2.5GHz. So I
really don't think computing power will be a hindrance to
"professional oriented tools" soon, except we'd need kernel and
binaries compiled for the ARM instruction set.
Well, ARM is growing fast, but I think that Intel will always be faster.
Let's not forget that we've already laptops with quadcores. Still,
you're right, computing power will be enough for a lot of professional
oriented tools. And that's precisely why I'd like to run an IDE on this
kind of devices.
