Steve Troughton-SmithI’m with @viticci — I’ll be honest, I’ve been hiding from iPadOS 16 and Stage Manager, and pretending it doesn’t exist. It’s hard to imagine a single feature being enough to evaporate years of enthusiasm for a platform, so maybe it’s just the final papercut in a long line of disappointments and ‘maybe it’ll be better next year’s. I’m real tired of the iPad, the computer form-factor I prefer, being hobbled because Apple chose to build two competing form-factor-specific computing platforms

@stroughtonsmith @viticci I’d long been bullish on the iPad as my primary computing machine, but somewhere between now and 2020 I just had to admit my needs for an iPad just don’t align with Apple’s wants.
Between the lackluster OS updates and the strict App Store rules not allowing devs to make the iPad into something great, the product line has effectively become the equivalent of those portable DVD players of years past.
It’s especially sad because the iPad form factor could be *so* good.
