FWIW, after using it for a few months I like it more than I thought I would. I decided to try it after my Average User sister said she liked it, and I wondered what I was missing. As context, I’ve used Mac OS since the late 80s and have permanently (to the degree possible) disabled the dock.
Or the new Preferences.app.
Why is it so slow? Opening proxy settings can take 5+ seconds

Stage Manager is surprisingly great, IMO. Frustrating at times, but mostly great.
I don’t get it on the Mac (mind I also need to use 3rd party window management / snapping tools here), but it seems to work well now the iPad has really good extended display support.
As if anybody asked for Cover Flow, one of the most useless features in the history of OS X?
It was really useful for quickly scrolling through a folder of images. As it relates to music it wasn't very useful - but it was fun. Not everything has to be useful.
iPadOS’s hand-me-downs
I ought to mention, I really expected that Stage Manager on iPad would turn out to have been mirroring the VR headset's window management, but that doesn't seem to be the case
