@packetcat ultimately it's hurting them that they want to keep Mac OS and iPad OS far apart. Android (Samsung's iteration of it) has had windows for ages and they don't do anything fancy like move so you can always switch windows by touch but at least they work?

@packetcat oh, and also I still don't understand what big problem the strip solves, they must think it's the best thing since they added it to both OSes but the most it does from what I can see is look kinda pretty? Literally just using macOS Spaces with some nice touch-based way to switch and move windows between them would be better, I feel
