Mobile limitations are fairly severe, and most of the IDE tools wouldn't 
work. Just the fact that only one window at a time can be open would 
remove the ability to display palettes, tools, plugins, app and project 
browsers, etc. Also, no floating script editor.

Then imagine trying trying to type scripts on a 5-inch phone keyboard.

That's just a start of the list of things that can't be done currently 
on mobile.
