I have the 13" i7, and for me it's great for web development (I do rails). The three-finger swipe to switch full screens introduced with Lion is actually really awesome for doing terminal stuff.
The screen size only becomes a problem if you're doing stuff like Xcode development with the iPhone simulator open, because there just isn't a lot of space. In that case I much prefer to have a big monitor, like 27".
