I've used an iPad Pro 10.2" with smart keyboard for 2 years now, trying to shift all my non-iOS-development work to it, with some success. I like using the iPad, and I like using it with multitasking much more than I did before that existed. I think the criticisms in the article have some merit but I don't know what better alternatives would be, and didn't see any suggested in the article. I assume that Apple has worked very hard and thrown away a lot of less good solutions to arrive where they're at with iPadOS thus far. The answer to a lot of this should be "open the Tips app and follow the tutorials," but they don't cover the entire set of possibilities, so a valid criticism would be that the Tips app should be improved. A tip for people that might not know: > apps that aren’t in the Dock can’t become the second app in split screen mode. Not true: on an external keyboard you can execute the same key command you use for Spotlight in macOS: ⌘ + Space, then you can immediately type the name of the app you want, and drag it into multitasking from the results. As Gruber points out with the dual purpose gesture of dragging icons from the dock (either multitasking or removing from dock), there is one here too: if you swipe down in the center of the home screen to activate a search, you can't drag those icons into multitasking. It makes sense because there's no other app open to multitask with, but the gesture is overloaded nonetheless. A personal bummer lately is that my $150 smart keyboard stopped working, so I'm rocking a Magic Keyboard with it currently at my desk. The Bluetooth connection story isn't perfect, and I don't take it around with me, so when I'm mobile I just have the dead keyboard cover.
