I am nervous this means Apple will hold back features from iOS to get people to buy an iPad. For example, they announced the new Files app with iPadOS but there is no reason that shouldn't all be available on an iPhone.
the multi-tasking/multi-window looks incredibly complicated, full of hidden gestures/commands that aren't really discoverable
Honestly that's exactly what the iPad needs. The focus on discoverability has crippled the iPad since the beginning, so its about time Apple started making the iPad faster to use. Software designed to maximize productivity always has a learning curve.
Edit: “immediately obvious” was a bit strong. They can do it in ways that are significantly easier to discover.

iPads still don't have a calculator app? I find that baffling.
Is this really such a big issue though? There are hundreds of free calculator apps you can download through the app store.

But this is functionality that normal computers can do in immediately obvious ways. Edit: “immediately obvious” was a bit strong. They can do it in ways that are significantly easier to discover.

yeah but once you learn it, you'll retain the knowledge
yeah but once you learn it, you'll retain the knowledge Pretty much the attitude of people learning Windows or MacOS in the late 90's. ("literacy") It's gone from having to win an audience in the early iOS days, to firmly having the audience in the company's grasp.
I'd rather have those capabilities? My drawing apps on iOS all have tons of multi-touch gestures. I appreciate they are there.
