It's great for development. Nice disk drives and nicer keyboard.Very little reason for games players to swap to a 128 though. Shame really.
fully agree - when my c64 blew up (literally, a power-surge) I got a C128 and used it primarily for SuperText (school), SuperBase/Geos and for development, great little machine to program in assembler using TopAss and the REU I got

I don't have the space to have it setup permanently (neither for my A2000) which is a shame
