> Even developing on a laptop is utterly painful - single small screen, no mouse, no real keyboard. It is probably nice to look at the sea while developing but it is not productive.

I think what you meant to say was "but I'm not productive this way." Clearly many developers are more than productive without a big screen/multiple screens, mice, and external keyboards. And as someone who has been shipping for several years with nothing but a 13" screen, I'm definitely one of them.

In fact I'd argue the ability for me to be totally mobile and work from wherever I want, whenever I want, makes me _more_ productive than being tethered to a monolithic workstation. There's a lot more "oh hey, that code I wrote last night kinda sucks, let me fix it before I hop in the shower" and a lot less "oh I should probably get around to fixing that thing when I get to my workstation."
