@stroughtonsmith the problem that i've come to understand with iPadOS is that the vision for the iPad, a seamless sheet of glass that can become anything, is totally incompatible with complex workflows.

It's a seamless sheet of glass that can become anything, not a sheet of glass that you can split into halves and store those halves and sometimes have a second smaller sheet you can peek onto the screen. The latter is what we've got and it's a confusing mess because it was never an articulated vision, just accumulated features.

If we don't want a WIMP to do complex workflows, then we need a ground-up rethinking of what the vision of what it means to use a computer in a day-to-day sense. I have some ideas of what might be interesting to explore in that sense, and I hope Apple has folks there who do too (and are listening to them).
