Huh wow, I haven't thought about iPads for a while, but apparently they even added multiple windows (predictably, 5 years late). That's probably the biggest blocker I considered that made tablets a toy even for laymen users (you hardly need to be a leet haxorz to use multiple windows)

On iPadOS you pretty much do need to be a leet haxor to use multiple windows, it’s a complicated mess involving swipes that’s totally undiscoverable

Ah, thanks for the info. An unintuitive UI is also entirely predictable for Apple, but I was actually saying that you don't need to be a leet haxor to use multiple windows on a desktop; ie even laymen wouldn't find a window-less mobile/tablet OS to be a replacement without that feature.

Not so much any more, especially if you get a keyboard and mouse.
