Hey GFY'ers, the time has come to replace my failing Linux laptop with something that conforms more closely to my desktop environment. With the release of Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), I believe the OS is mature enough to support versioning and cloud storage in a way that'd be efficient and helpful to my workflow. This comes at the right time, since my laptop is dying.

Apple is having a "one day" sale today, and I'm going to buy a Macbook Air or a Macbook Pro. I'm looking for opinions on which to buy, with the option of "neither" not being sought.

I bought a Macbook Air a couple of months ago, and it died after one month -- the SSD shit the bed. I chose to return it rather than taking a replacement.

Anyone have experience with either (or, even better, both)?

My primary use is for development. I use PhpStorm, Xcode, Skype, Adium, and Pages/Numbers (less frequently).
