The simplest tasks on iPadOS are either incredibly difficult and time-consuming, or they’re so unintuitive that even a 25-year Apple veteran can't figure them out. Frankly, neither reflects well on iPadOS.
@snazzyq@scriptingosx Stage Manager definitely needs some work, but I think the bigger issue here is trying to use an iPad as if it were a mini MacBook with a touch screen. If you have that expectation, you’re going to be disappointed, because that’s not what it is. (Even though Apple isn’t great at messaging what it’s best used for and makes it seem like a mini MacBook.)
