I like everything they're doing; I just don't trust their capability to win enough market share to make developing on their platform meaningful. Plus, I don't own one so I wouldn't dogfood.

On the other hand, while there are fewer WebOS devices out there, there's a massive shortage of Palm apps. You could make an extremely sound business porting successful iPhone apps to the Pre. You'd have huge mindshare if you launched there, first, too.
All in all, working on the development environment is a great play by palm.
