@Denny, I always appreciate your positive take and analysis. This is another great entry. As you know from some past posts you and I’ve interacted on, I love my iPad Pro but feel it falls down for me in some places where it shouldn’t. Still, I 100% agree with your views on many of your points. Chief among them…
First:
There are places where the iPad is equally capable (if not better than the Mac), but people just want to do a thing exactly the way they do it on their Mac and accuse the iPad of not being able to do the thing because it’s not done the same way. When I’ve taken the time to learn to do something the iPad way, I’ve found that it works at least as efficiently as on the Mac. Which leads to my next point…
Second:
I am delighted with multitasking on the iPad and find that I can work quite efficiently with it. I took a few days of forcing myself to learn the features and use them last summer when the new design came out. It has paid great dividends. Yes, it’s different from macOS, but it is not less capable. In fact, the only multitasking problems that I’ve ever experienced have to do with legacy-third-party apps, like Microsoft Word. The multitasking system works and works great on an iPad.
Third:
I agree with this, because like you, I want the iPad to improve but don’t want it to become macOS. I love macOS. But I don’t want iPad to run on iPadOS or for iPadOS to become macOS.
