How good is development on it (& elementary OS). I've only used Ubuntu/OSX for serious development.
Does the 2GB RAM cause any issues?

Also the dual core Celeron is fast in compiling things for elementary dev (of course just don't think to run Gentoo on it), while moderates the desire to play games.
About the 2GB RAM: as devs we are used to systems with 8/16 GB today; if you can accept that even RAM is a finite thing so it isn't an issue.
Anyway I try to preserve my SSD, so I keep my ~/Downloads folder in RAM, and at first I disabled the swap volume: the system just freezed too often. So I re-enabled the swap, but I reduced the swappiness and I plan to move it on an SD card.
You really don't need to do that anymore.
And trust me, the Downloads folder in RAM is one of the best thing you can do to reduce the bloating of files in a system: you learn to copy away the things you really need, and leave the others there; at the next reboot they'll be vanished.
