I do Java and C development on a PowerBook G3, which is comparable to
the midrange iBooks.  The 1024x768 screen is a little cramped, but the
speed of the system is more than adequate for hacking.  I don't use the
Project Builder, though, so I can't comment on how well it runs on G3s.
I use vim running inside of an rxvt.
