I have the Air and previously had an M1 Pro from my old job. I work without a monitor a lot (hence the aforementioned dock-hiding) and I much prefer the Air! I don’t notice any performance difference (though I should have mentioned before that I don’t develop with Docker) and a possible thing for some people: I found the edges of the Pro very sharp on my wrists on the Pro. Like, I generally don’t concern myself with such things, but it was a real problem. I do raise my wrists while typing but they are resting a lot while not typing. On the flip side, the builtin speakers on the Pro are fantastic (for builtins) which was nice when having YouTube videos on while cooking.
EDIT: I have the M1 Air, not sure what the edge situation is like with the M2.
