Wake me up when I can run VirtualBox on these fancy iPad Pros and be able to run 1-2 virtual machines for development purposes.
you can already run VMs on azure or aws and access them with rdp.
Though I still prefer a local environment for quick iterative development I often can't justify the time to spin up/manage a VM due to how quick I could otherwise do cloud native development in a browser.
Not saying I necessarily agree with the top-level comment, but that is hardly a convincing argument against it.
