I also pulled the trigger here hoping to be able to replace my desktop setup. What were the key issues you were having that made you feel like it's just not there yet for that use case?
I cover some of this in my blog post, but mostly it came down to the text I was looking at would be sharp and easy to read, but anything in my peripheral vision would look a little bit blurry. I only gave it a quick test and today I’m planning on trying to write a new feature all in the Vision Pro to see how that goes.
After writing this I went to write a tiny new feature for my side project on the AVP. At first I couldn't get my AVP to connect to my MBP and I thought it might be because it was in clamshell mode. I opened up setting and clicked around a bit then it showed up on my AVP to connect to (I went to Control Center and clicked the button to connect to a MBP, it didn't prompt me. It did prompt me the other day when I had the laptop open).
I started to write the feature but could feel the added friction and slowness. There was a little bit of input lag (moving mouse and feel like it wasn't moving as quick on the AVP), then I started getting an error from my backend in a place I hadn't touched anything. I very quickly took off the AVP to investigate with the "full power" of my MBP and external monitors.
The text in the AVP is clear when you are looking at your code but moving your head "smears" the picture a bit and anything you aren't focusing on isn't clear. It would be workable and maybe I'd use it on a plane but never if I have my monitors available to me. I want to try again in the next few days but it's a decent way off from replacing my monitors.
