When I travel or feel like hacking somewhere besides my desk, I work on an 11" air with an i7. The screen size is tight if you spend a lot of time in IDEs (for me, eclipse and xcode). When I'm able to work in emacs, I have more than enough room.
The only other thing really worth considering is RAM. If you are a web developer I suspect this isn't too much of an issue. I find that running xcode and eclipse together produces some swapping.
Surprisingly, I noticed a ton of airs at strange loop earlier this week, so they seem to be doing ok with hacker crowd.

Any heat or battery problems with the i7?
Battery doesn't last nearly as long (only about 3 hours of real work). It also runs hotter, but that hasn't been a problem.
