I'm using it for pretty much everything. I'm a Creative Director for a large consumer products company and work on everything from print collateral and packaging to web design.
I don't think I'd be happy having any laptop as my one and only computer to work on, but I seem to be relying on a desktop less and less.
The fact is there isn't much that I can't do on the MBA. I've done quite a few projects in my time working solely on a G3 PowerBook (Pismo) and for the past couple of years on a MacBook Pro.
I've got CS3 Design Premium, VMware Fusion, Extensis Suitcase, iLife and iWork. I've got about 14GB in my iTunes Library and still have about 45GB left on the HD.
I'm still deciding whether to install MS Office. I might just run the XP version under VMware Fusion off my iPod when I need it aren't Mac's incredible?

Maybe for everything. May sell my MacBook Pro...although that would pain me
You know it's nice to see that a lot of people feel that the MBA is really capable. Having a beautiful un opened air just sitting in my room at home is killing me
Myspace, facebook, MacRumors, Mail, Reading my scanned textbooks and doing homework.
Macbook Pro is for CS3, Traktor Scratch and creating boot images for restore.

Travel
My MBA traveled about 11,000 miles starting just a couple hours after I bought it. Was traveling from Boston to Melbourne on a 430 flight through LA. Picked up the MBA at 1pm...set it up and charged it on the plane.
Writing this from Sydney right now.
It is the perfect travel machine.
Maybe we need a thread on MBA's with the most miles. Mine will be at 25K soon...
Cheers MBA Mates!
