Why would those tasks be harder to perform on iOS than on a Mac if you have a keyboard on both ?

    I would be amazed if selecting text on a mac with a mouse was quicker or easier than selecting text on an ipad with a keyboard.

      I… wouldn't. I'm so much faster doing text operations on a Mac, it's not even close. A pointing device is just so much more quick/precise for me than fingers.

        That's what I don't get about these arguments in support of text editing on iOS. The mouse isn't bound to the physical dimensions of the screen. It also doesn't require you to put it atop/obscure the screen to work, either (unless you're doing something very wrong). I'm sure there are zippy ways to edit text on iOS, but like you, after using a mouse, hell, even a trackpad, I think it's soooo much quicker using the latter.
