Terrible keyboard? Android supports USB HID devices so just use whatever keyboard you normally use. I use my HHKB [1] when I am on the go which is 1000 times better than the on-screen keyboard.
I also have two monitors at home and at work, so I agree that replacing a real setup with 10" is terrible.
If you would connect that Nexus 10 to a 24" or so monitor at work that would be a much better solution.
