@Denny @ChrisJWilson @zsbenke agreed on all things here. I stopped reading MacStories quite awhile ago because of this kind of stuff. For me personally I've found a nice balance between the iPad and the Mac. I use my Mac for most stuff but do some writing, etc. on the iPad. The nice thing is for most apps I use there is a version for both platforms and it all works out and I don't get frustrated trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

About the dev tools...people complaining about Xcode or Visual Studio not existing on the iPad don't really understand software development it would seem. Its storage and memory hungry. Sure the iPads now have M1/M2 but they still don't have the storage or RAM that Macs or PCs have. I suspect Xcode probably runs on the iPad somewhere inside Apple. The question is why would I want to?
