Microsoft Surface RT review - Eurogamer: "a largely disappointing offering that under-performs in almost every way that matters."

I only have one question that matters to me: Is it better or worse than the similarly priced Ipad?

I'll likely get a Pro anyway, but if I can't then I want to know Ipad or Surface.RT?

Note: Either must have at least a decent text editor for html programming.

The review pretty clearly declares the iPad better, for gaming performance, at least.

For text editing, there are quite a few choices on iPad. Diet Coda is the one designed most explicitly with web development in mind. Cheaper, but also good, alternatives include Elements, iA Writer and Byword. If you're looking for particular features, here's a comprehensive list of about 70 iOS text editors and their features:
