Yes.
But it’s interesting when two things evolve towards each other, but starting from different places. Like comparing bats and birds, or penguins, otters, and fish.
In this case, evolving from a device designed for touch only into touch-first is going to be different from a device that evolved from—let’s be honest—keyboards, punch cards, and the command-line.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoJudging from the (in my opinion) really clunky multi window feature in iPadOS it seems they are struggling to get even close to the usability of macOS. I don’t think so far iPadOS scales well to larger screen sizes and multitasking. A lot of things take more clicking compared to macOS.

- 0x38B 7y agoIt's ironic, but I've transitioned from using Ulysses and other apps for text editing to Blink + Mosh + Tmux + Neovim (with Goyo plugin for focusing). This is on a 12.9" iPad Pro. It's a smooth setup. I like iOS, but am tired of dragging apps from the dock. (Note: I use Working Copy as a local git client & editor for times when I'm without internet or when I need to copy to another app. Great combo.)
